ekg changes and dizziness

Posted By wt on February 01, 1999 at 19:20:17:







Dear Docs,
  Thanks for this forum.  I recently had an echo (15) which indicated "
no significant abnormalities". 117 I went to the emergency room with chest
pain. The doc at the time said my cardiac enzymes and ekg was normal and
sent me home. Last week I received the ekg in the mail from the hospital
and it said nonspecific T wave abnormality. An old inferolateral MI cannot
be entirely excluded. When compared to EKG ST T changes are more pronounced.
." I showed the EKG to my regular doctor and he said it looked OK don't
worry. My questions are 1. Do I need to worry about an old MI? 2. Are these
EKG changes consistent with dialated cardiomyopathy? 3. Or does my echo exclude
that? 4. I felt light headed today. Could that be from a heart problem?
Thanks, Will Trout
