UNUSUAL: These changes are VERY unusual for a female age 20!!! You should ask more questions of the health care provider who ordered the EKG> Do you have a heart murmur??????? These issues should be settled sooner rather than later. Hope this helps! Good Luck! Dr Z

Computer EKG reading: EKG computer reading is not accurate. Let your cardiologist interpret your EKG. The EKG reading significance also depends on the history of the patient , family history, exam .

Situational: Pending on setting, could be artifact, poor lead placement, to decreased blood flow to part of the heart. Has to be part of entire situation it was seen in. At age 20, unless you have multiple risks for heart disease, such as obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, strong family history of heart disease, and are having chest pain with exertion, then it probably means very little

Never trust the...: ...auto read. No doc takes those seriously; we do our own reads. If I don't place the leads on myself, I am always a smidge skeptical. Kinda picky that way. Why did you get an ECG? Chest pain? Palpitations? Murmur? Part of bigger work up? The septum is the wall between the R & L heart chambers. ST/T-wave changes are common, nonspecific & nondiagnostic. Keep it for baseline comparison. Talk w/ doc.
