I'm a bit worried about my ECG results from a recent preventive health checkup. It mentioned "T inversion in III and aVF" and I'm not sure what that means. My heart rate was 75 bpm, PR interval at 126 ms, and QRS duration at 112 ms. Then, there's the QT interval at 358 ms and QTC interval at 402 ms. The axis angles were noted as P Wave 27 degrees, QRS Wave 4 degrees, and T Wave 6 degrees. Could you please help me understand what all this means and if I should be concerned?

I'm having this tender chest pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's getting me worried. I did an ECG, and everything seemed fine. My TMT test was negative too, which was a relief at first. But now, I'm sometimes feeling short of breath and there's a pain in my left hand. I even had a CT Coronary Angiography last year that showed normal results. What could be going on? Could you help me figure this out?
