What Does Elevated ST In EKG Indicate?
My 16 year old son has been feeling lightheaded when he stands up, so I took him to the doctor. They took blood pressure laying, sitting and standing; standing is higher pressure, lower pulse. He isn't running a fever and has experienced no chest pains. He had an EKG yesterday and it showed an elevated ST. What does that mean? I tried to write down what the doctor was saying, but I couldn't keep up!
