General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern.

Do not worry much. Let me solve your queries one by one.

1. Sinus tachycardia - increased heart rate
2. Left axis deviation - may be probably due to high B.P or may be normal
3. Coming to nonspecific T wave changes - The T wave represents ventricular (the bottom of the heart) repolarization (return to electrical baseline) which corresponds to a return to precontracted state. What does a nonspecific T-wave change mean? It's a very overused term that often means absolutely nothing. In general, T wave changes are very non-specific. They can occur with hyperventilation, anxiety, drinking hot or cold beverages, and positional changes.

Seeing your EKG would make this a lot easier.


You need not worry too much .
