I took an ekg on myself at work in the standing position while nervous. the results were sinus rhythm with minor st depression on the auto populated report. is this of concern given the conditions in which it was taken?

Data: Is too poor quality to even speculate about it as conditions for an ecg were not met. If you have any symptoms relatable to heart make sure you mention to your doc so that you can have a proper exam and ecg if needed. Would not stress about the ecg you took.

Any symptoms?: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
