T waves are normally inverted in AVR and V1. They are often inverted normally in AVL and somtimes AVF. Brain injury is a well known non-cardiac cause of TWI but lumbosacral neuritis has nothing to do with T waves. Abn electrolytes can also be facto

Yes possibly: It is well documented that there is a whole gamut of ST/T changes that can occur in the setting of CNS injury, ranging from subtle ST Changes, sinus arrhythmia/sinus tachycardia, etc. IF you have risk factors for CAD, and are having chest pain/pressure, then see a cradiologist sooner than later.
