Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

As per the medical query about ecg raised by you I would like to tell you that I have reviewed the ecg image and it does have ST T changes in the precordial leads (T wave inversion).

If the patient has symptoms along with other medical issues like diabetes or hypertension or thyroid dysfunction then further evaluation in the form of stress echo or TMT will be required to rule out any underlying cardiac issue.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
