I'm 36 and recently I've been feeling some pain in my left chest. I had an ECG done and they mentioned something about a left axis deviation. What exactly does that mean? Could it indicate a heart issue?

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 72, because he's been having some issues with his heart not beating regularly. Lately, hes been feeling very weak.
