ECG concerns

Hello,

I am 29 years old, I got my ECG done today, to rule out if there is any cardiac involvement for the mild chest pain I have been having for the past two weeks. I have been a smoker for the past 9 years,

I got these results

Ventricular rate 73 bmp
PR interval   124 ms
QRS duration 82 ms
QT/QTc 358/394 ms
P-R-T axes 11 54 32

The P R T axes is the one which I dont understand, should I be concerned with these findings?

Thank you for helping me in advance, please keep up the good work.

The doctor is  right, one of the best things a young person can  do to help their future heart and lung health is too stop smoking. Remember your heart and lungs work in tandem and smoking damages both of them.

I would need to see the EKG to render an opinion -- the numbers are sometimes incorrect.  The numbers, however, do look normal.

Please stop smoking!
