macy,
Trying to describe an ecg in words is like trying to describe a picture. It's not the same. There are some concernig features listed in your diagnosis though. The criteria for hyperteophy is standardized for men older than you so it may not be accurate.
My next step would be an echocardiogram to look for true hypertrophy.
good luck
