Since you have had rheumatoid arthritis for 2 years, severe pain and inability to move your left hand may be due to active joint inflammation or nerve involvement, and it needs prompt medical review. The ECG finding of LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) usually relates to long-standing high blood pressure or heart strain and should be evaluated by a physician or cardiologist. Please consult your rheumatologist and doctor soon; do not ignore these symptoms, and avoid self-medication.
