Could I have a heart problem if I have a heavy heart, weary legs, and ECG T Wave inversion?

Doctor's Answer

I’d strongly suggest that she visit a GP for a formal consultation.

As pointed out, she has clear risk factors for heart disease, especially in the context of experiencing symptoms such as a heavy heart and fatigue.

It’s worth noting that certain ECG abnormalities can be non-specific.

I’d still suggest for you to bring the actual recording of the old ECG down for the consultation (as well as all her other old medical notes/laboratory results) – it’s very helpful for the doctor to compare any current ECG readings against the old one that was taken.

He may go on to suggest an exercise treadmill test, which is a commonly used screening test for patients with risk factors for heart disease.

Cheers
