Brief Answer:
This suggest a past injury...In most cases an artifact. See a cardiologist!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this EKG findings and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I have reviewed your information fully and it seems you have no symptoms of a heart disease or aware of any in the past. Most of these findings at times are not real and you need to visit a cardiologist for confirmation. I will recommend that you don’t freak out and schedule a cardiologist consult. Artifacts are common and take cardiologist to make the difference between a real finding and spurious observations.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
