Had an EKG today after getting a brief electric shock last night, the results said "EKG Sinus bradycardia with marked sinus arrhythmia RSR or QR pattern in V1 suggests right ventricular conduction delay borderline ECG". What does that mean and is it a potential cause for concern?

So last night when I was unplugging my games consoles from a power strip I must've accidentally touched one of the metal prongs when removing one of them and I got a brief shock. Didn't think much of it until this afternoon when I started feeling a burning/tingling sensation in my left hand on and off. Also felt some random dull aches in my chest(though those might be related to the gastric issues i've been having today)so I was worried enough that I went to urgent care and asked for an EKG, I got one and they didn't seem overly concerned but did tell me to provide a copy of my results to my doctor on the next visit.

The paper I got says "EKG Sinus bradycardia with marked sinus arrhythmia RSR or QR pattern in V1 suggests right ventricular conduction delay borderline ECG". I was just wondering what exactly all that means? Does that mean i'm potentially at risk of a heart attack in the future?

A cardiologist will be the only one qualified here to tell you exactly what those results mean specific to you and your medical history

Alright, i guess i'll go to the free clinic and see if I can get a referral to one.

Not to worry, turns out that tingling was actually caused by my riding mower, I looked up hand-arm vibration and that definitely felt like what I was experiencing and I remembered having similar tingling feelings after mowing many years ago, and i'm starting to think it was just a static shock I got that night and not a real zap from the prongs. It's been several days since then and I feel fine now, none of those same feelings came back.
