Ischemia: T-wave inversions are usually reflective of poor blood flow to the region of the heart. There are other disorders that can cause this as well. False positive would be unusual. Discuss with your doctor.

Ecg: In a 23y/o female you probably have persistent juvenile t wave inversion which can come and go. Other causes of anterior t wave inversion in a young person are less benign but the drugs you are taking can certainly also cause t wave changes. You should discuss with your doctor but not be anxious at this point about this.
