Borderline Normal and Abnormal ECG Graph - HELP! Need your experiences or opinions

[safeplay888]

Hi All,

I am 25 years old, male, good amount of muscle, and with some fat, i weight 83.5kg and 178cm. I am healthy, with some cholesterol and uric acid. I do not smoke (I did before for a couple years) and do not drink often. I do exercise about 3 times a week.

I have done ECG on a machine last year in 2016 and this year in 2017.
Last year I had borderline normal reading saying "can leave patient as is if there are no symptoms or underlying disease" and this year is borderline abnormal with WPW? (with a question mark). A general doctor asked me to go see a cardiologist to get his opinion so I did.

The cardiologist said my graph last year and this year is the SAME. He said he is quite sure I do not have WPW but he cannot be 100% certain. He also said my pulse rate is normal. I don't have any symptoms so he gave me two solutions. He suggests to just leave it OR if I really do want to make sure to be fully confirmed then I have to do the test, but he says again he is pretty confident I do not have it; the graph only shows an extremely mild indicator and chances are that I don't.

Questions:
what do you guys think?
I know machine readings are based on perfect ECG graphs, I feel like if I had a cardiologist manually read the ECG, WPW would not have been written down.

Unfortunately no one can tell you what to do.  This is your body and you must do what you feel best for it.  Did they say what kind of test they would do?  If you live in the US and it turns out they mean an EP study they are very expensive.  For an off chance it is WPW it may not be worth it but if you are in a country where health costs are more reasonable it may be worth it.  This said, without a history of tachycardia it may be hard for them to induce it if you do indeed have it.  I am not totally sure about WPW but I had AVNRT and I had it all my life where my heart would suddenly for no reason start racing really fast and stop just as fast.  But for people who are not very active (meaning the tachycardia episodes happen often) it can be hard to induce in an EP study so I guess I would ask what prompted the EKG in the first place.  I have never had one done until I complained of symptoms with my heart.  It isn't a standard test for young people.
