My brother was doing daily excercise from 2 last year he was physically very fit. But after listen this my brother got very panicked. After one hour we went to the mayo hospital doctor checked previous ecg and said its normal but just for sure you can do one more ecg here.

My brother is having severe anxiety just because of his ecg had non specific changes in ecg we have consulted multiple leading cardiologists of lahore they have tested his CBC, Lipid profile, rft . Sugar and 2d Echo but all tests were normal. My question is why there is non specific changes in ecg if this is not heart related??

Before it happened he was doing daily excercise but one he had chest pain and then he went for ecg checkup and then this whole thing started. He developed the same symptoms as the heart Paitent after hear that his ecg has non specific changes. He left excercise , he left even walking he said when he do something he feels something in his chest now

Every cardiologist said this is just cause of anxiety. But he is not admitting it and every second just spend on internet to search for heart disease.

Non specific is a vague term. You should ask about any specific change. In general non specific has no significant if cardiologist clears

Some cardiologist said to consult with psychiatrist. Because before that ecg, he was totally fine. 4 months ago our sister had passed away after her delivery. Just after one week my brother had chest discomfort after dinner so thats whole thing started. I think there house officers or MO who were non-cardiologist. Onho kuch usko dara dea hy and now he is totally off from his life.

Non specific changes are indications that ecg is in conclusive therefore rely on other investigations, physical examination and history. If these are normal then just relax. Ecg it self is not conclusive. Always interpret it in the light of history and examination.

Well we are very worried about him because after that false interpretation of that junior doctor makes a huge bad impact on his life. He left his MBA . He lost his job. He just spends his time to search about the heart related things and created alot of symptoms like chest pain shoulder tension and sometimes high blood pressure. Now these things are happening just of anxiety. That boy who is used to spend 2 hours in a gym now he got fear to go gym. What should we do mow

This is a typical development of a case of anxiety. You need not to do anything except go to psychiatrist with all investigations . This is a typical case of anxiety disorder.
