Do I have a serious heart disease?
This is my ECG and I want to find out how serious my heart condition is.

anemia means you have insufficient red blood cells in your blood, or they are damaged. In most cases it is caused by a diet lacking iron. Your body needs iron to make red cells in the bone marrow, which happens all the time because they only last a few days. With low red blood cells you will suffer from fatigue because all your body organs will have insufficient oxygen available. Your Cardiologist is wise to look at this problem first. If your red cell count was too low, they would have given you a blood transfusion. with the iron supplements, your anemia should be gone quickly, usually within about three days. As well as iron, you could also be deficient in vitamin B12 so obviously to be sure, blood tests are required.
thank you very much.yes,the cardiologist told me there is no use to give me any treatment since it's something congenital and it's not pathological.it can become patological if I don't keep my body fit and I gain weight.keeping a diet is a necessity in my case because I am more vulnerable than others.
It seems that I don't have any ishaemic cardiopathy disease but my heart structure is like that.It's since I was born in this way because I repeated my EKG and it's identical in spite of the fact I took medicine.
I asked here as well due to the fact my family doctor scared me with that 'chronic" term.I want to see if it's that serious till I visit my cardiologist.
My family doctor told me it's ischemia but in a chronic stage.The cardiologist didn't give me any diagnosis because she wants to repeat the EKG after a month.She gave me a treatment for lowering my cholesterol levels and to increase the levels of iron and calcium in my body and also,Aspenter.
yes,I had shortness of breath but not due to the heart but to my asthma bronchitis.several times,this problem forced the heart muscle because I needed air in my lungs.I also have problems with anemia and started a treatment for that.
Looks fine to me apart from the ST wave. It looks too flat and downward sloping. Looks to me like there could be some ischemia involved. I am not a Doctor but from seeing the ECG trace, I would have thought the Doctor would have mentioned something. Have you been getting shortness of breath or chest pains at all?
