Inverted T-Wave and chest pain

I am a 26 year old female who started having extreme chest pains a little over a week ago. I finally went to a cardiologist on Thursday (05/29). The nurse did an EKG and the Dr explained that I had an inverted T-Wave. He told me that my possibilites were either the narrowing of a heart valve or possible blockage. I have a family history of heart disease (on mother and fathers side). The Dr is going to call me with the date that they want to do the Stress Test. I am trying really hard not to worry about this and think on the positive side of things. I am now on meds for my heart....kinda feel like my dad right now. Anyhow, I was just curious for an outsider looking in what your opinion would be. Thank you for your time

The "T" wave on an EKG is a very unstable wave influenced by many factors and artefacts. The T wave represents the repolarization or resetting of the electrical cells in the bottom chambers of the heart. Reasons for inverted T waves are numerous and may include ischemia, heart attack, hyperventilation, anxiety, certain medications, infections around the heart, pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lung), electrolyte disturbance (abnormalities in sodium, potassium levels) etc.

An EKG has to supported with and inconjuction with other wave forms as well as clinical evidence and supporting symptom before there can be a diagnosis.
