Suffering From Shortness Of Breath, Flu And Cold. ECG Shows Nonspecific Inferior ST, X-ray Shows Normal. Suggestion?
My husband is 39yrs old, has had shortness of breath and flu/ cold like symptoms for the past three months. He went the a walk-in clinic and the doctor ordered bloodwork and an ECG . Bloodwork was all normal except for an elevated d-dimer and the ECG had on it Nonspecific inferior ST. The walk-in sent him to emerg for a possible clot. They repeated the results with no elevation in the d-dimer. The xray was normal as well. Thoughts on the abnormal 12 lead ecg?
