I recently suffered from extreme shortness of breathe, I went to the er where they preformed chest X-rays & diagnosed me with upper respiratory infection. We had a health screening at work today, and my ECG results read borderline, is this anything to be concerned about?

All frontal leads 0.6mv Rsr in v1 or v2 right vcd or rvh........................qrs area positive & r v1/v2 Should I follow up with a cardiologist?

What is your age, breathlessness develop suddenly? is there any prior history of breathlessness ? You must consult physician first, get Echocardiography done. Extreme breathless does not develop because of upper respiratory infection and it is not diagnosed by chest x ray, also there is no feature of respiratoy infection
