With a T wave abnormality one must consider several things, including ischemia. This finding is very dependent on how the electrodes are placed on you chest. And defining what is a T wave abnormality will depend on who reads the ECG. As you have had 2 normal ones since that is good news. Listen to your Dr. and discuss again for more details in your specific case.

T wave “abnormality” is not uncommon in individuals as a non-specific finding due to electrode placement, electrolyte abnormality and in those with a prior cardiac history. Interpreting nonspecific Twave abnormality as possibly “ischemic” is unwise and creates needless anxiety. I would advise that you see a cardiologist for further guidance. My guess would be that you do not have cardiac ischemia.
