Have you been examined by a cardiologist? If not, sounds like it is time to do so.

I have no idea what "failed ekg" means... I assume it means one or more abnormalities were found. Some abnormalities are not treated, i.e., we just live with them. This is something you need to discuss with a doctor, preferably a heart specialist.
