My ECG reading had a report. (D) Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormal. ST
abnormality, possibly digitalis effect.
What does that mean?

Derek.

(1) Your ECG (aka EKG) is abnormal.

(2) It is abnormal in the area of the ST segment.

(3) The abnormality you have is sometimes seen in folks taking
digitalis.

In Christ's love and service,

Andrew

Thank you, I am still puzzled as I do not take digitalis just Verapamil and
Securon.

The latter two are the same. Nonetheless, this is a puzzle that is best
solved with your cardiologist.
