ECG reading

Heart disease present in both sides of family. Father has had angina for years, and now has 5 stints. I am 43, female. I have (so far)uncontrolled high blood pressure.
ECG reading as follows:(I had it done at the lab and was given a copy. See the cardiologist in a week. I am just curious.)
vent. Rate  59bpm
PR int.  140ms
QRS dur. 84ms
QT/QTC int. 424/423ms
P/QRS/T axis 53/ 42/ 46
RV5/SV1 amp. 1.37/0.88mV
Many thanks for your time.

I'll send you a bill for using my avatar signature :)  Looking closer I see a differentiation with the eyes so there is no infrigement. Take care.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I am unsure of the tracing of the ST interval.
I have controlled diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure (on the 5th type of medication) and a list of symptoms that identify with MS. I get random sudden pains in my head-CT scan on thursday-finally!
I am having daily pain/pressure in my chest and sometimes back. Often relieved with sitting-laying sometimes makes it worse. I sweat uncontrollably with very little exertion. I am exhausted a good part of the time. And I am really tired of feeling like this! I have things to do!
Thanks for listening :)

Your EKG results appear to be normal.

PR int.  140ms (normal is 120-200ms)
QRS dur. 84ms (60-100ms)
QT/QTC int. 424/423ms (200-440ms)
P/QRS/T axis 53/ 42/ 46 (200-400ms)... the complex are values from thr frontal plane and no axis deviation ande don't indicate any bundle branch blockage.

Just curious, if you have a family history of heart problems, wasn't there a tracing of the ST interval?  If it elevated >1 mm that could indicate a prior MI, and depressed ST can indicate ischemia (vessel occlusion).  But an EKG is not definitive, and would correlate to symptoms and other tests.
