29 yr old female with absent P waves on 12 Lead ECG otherwise normal QRS complex Pulse varying usually 63 -73 BPM, BP 120/80 Thymectomy 10months ago, with no abnormal ECG which was done Pre OP, weakened radial pulses (could be also with other pulse sites) within 1 min pulse will be strong & consistent then for about 15 seconds it becomes very weak almost unnoticeable and then it picks up again, also mention of a heart murmur, Whats going on, confused how someone can have a normal ECG 10mths ago and now not have P Waves & Murmur. No severe dizziness every now and then feeling light headed, some periods of varying time SOB,

Thank You

I'm going to guess hyperkalemia (too much potassium in your blood).

The angle of the picture makes it tough to see your EKG.  I thought I could make out a P wave before all your QRST waves, but they are tiny.

A small or absent P wave with other intervals looking good could be from hyperkalemia.   It's the only thing I could find that fit a differential diag with that EKG.  Other diag for absent p-waves is afib or flutter and you definitely do not have that going on.

Your R-R interval looks good, it's a regular rhythm.  The QRS complexes aren't too wide or too narrow, they're in range.  That's about all I could read from the photo.

The regruge (murmur) might be related, I can't really say.  I would treat the obvious and go from there.

Are you taking any meds that might be making your potassium levels too high?
