What Does Inverted P Wave Indicate?

Hi, I had a ecg test, the doc said it was ok, but he commented something about inverted p wave but it could be disconsidered I dont know why. I googled about the inverted p wave and it shows bad things. I want to know if the ecg can be normal with inverted p wave. Or if it is always a bad thing. Sorry bad english.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if there is "P" wave inversion in EKG then it should be noted in how man lead this is significant if this is mostly notable in II and V1 then this could be either left or right atrial hypertrophy, and this is being considered as normal or insignificant, no need to worry about this, take care and have nice day.
