Yes: There are many mild changes in the EKG that the machine defines as "abnormal," but are normal for a particular person. You are young, so heart disease is very unlikely. That being said, see your doctor, so they can do further testing just to be sure everything is OK. Hope this helps!

Yes: There is a wide range of unusual findings on an EKG. Most of them do not mean you have a serious problem. If you have a normal ECHO that is very reassuring. The ECHO is a much better test to determine whether your heart is functioning well. An EKG just looks at electrical activity. On the ECHO you also see muscle and valves. Do you have anxiety? Indigestion? Sounds like your heart is fine!
