Thanks for the update.
I saw your reports.
The ECG shows ST segment depression in leads II, III, aVF, and all anterior leads.
If you had sweating, left arm pain, it could indicate cardiac ischaemia (blood supply problem).
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is possible. here vessels supplying the heart are blocked and predispose to a heart attack.
You did not mention if you had left chest pain/ discomfort, palpitations, giddiness.
Do you have blood pressure, diabetes or other illnesses?
I would suggest you to go to the ER (casualty) of a good hospital and get fully evaluated for the ECG changes. Admission is usually needed. I would recommend full health check up and tests for your age.
If you have chest pain, sweating, palpitations, giddiness, chew an aspirin tablet and a sorbitrate tablet under the tongue and get immediate medical attention.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole

Are you talking about the first report, or are you talking about the sevond one? By the way, my age is 52, and my bloodpressure was and is normal.
Both stripes show similar picture.
Good that your BP is normal and still you have not worsened.
My advice remains the same.
Take care. Avoid exertion till evaluation is complete.
