ECG mystery.

Two months ago, I was woken at 4:00AM by discomfort in my arm. When I
got up, I realized I had breathing problems, then became too faint to
make it on my own into my husbands car for a ride to the hospital.

In ER, they wired me up. No heart attack but the ECG read like someone
who has had a heart attack. ER felt it warranted a follow up
appointment with a Heart Specialist.

I went to a cardiologist, did the stress tests and everything was just
fine, low cholestral, heart of a 25 year old.
Cardiologist said that if someone had placed my ECG report on his desk,
he would at a glance deduct that this person has suffered a heart
attack. He said it's a mystery.

I don't believe in mysteries.
I read somewhere that there is such a thing as Micro-shredding and
Soldiers heart, all to do with stress. Could this be a factor in this
abnormal ECG reading?
I've had more than my share of suffocating stress through life.
Would micro shredding cause an ECG to read like a previous heart attack
and evade detection through normal tests.

When you went to the hospital did they draw blood and do cardiac emzymes?  What
type of stress test did you have. Have you been seen by a cardiologist?

I went to the hospital, all blood tests were done.
I was referred to a cardiologist specialist a few weeks later.
One day I did the bicycle test
The next day, I was injected with a substance and went through a
complete rotating x-ray.
I met with the cardiologist and he said it was a mystery.

Can you post the ECG, or a link to it?
