Hi Yesterday I went to the doctor cause I was short of breath and light headed with any work that I did like hanging up washing etc I felt like I was going to pass out. Anyways the doc gave me an ecg but everything seemed fine till i had to walk on the treadmil apparently what concerned him was a downward spike on the egc. What does that mean?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I would like to review your ECG, if you can upload it on this site. Considering your symptoms and the ECG changes, I would recommend performing some other tests:
- a coronary angio CT scan or nuclear perfusional cardiac stress test to investigate for coronary artery disease
- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries, considering the episodes of lightheadedness.
I would also recommend monitoring your blood pressure, because blood pressure fluctuations can trigger this clinical situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards, Dr. Aida
