I've just had my routine check-up and my ECG results showed something called T wave inversion in the inferior leads. I'm a 34-year-old guy, pretty healthy overall, and I don't smoke or drink. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious?

This finding can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in young healthy individuals like yourself who do not have any symptoms or risk factors such as smoking or drinking. However, it can also be associated with certain heart conditions. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and monitoring. If no other concerning symptoms are present, no treatment may be necessary at this time.
