Brief Answer:
It's fine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
What's your age and symptoms?
Whatever is printed is machine generated report which is frequently inaccurate, so should not be relied upon. However, to called it as incomplete rbbb, there are set of criterias, out of which only one, that is, S wave is seen in lateral precordial leads. So, you may say, it may be a earliest of stage of rbbb or even it may be seen normally. So, it's not incomplete rbbb at present and nothing to worry about it. RBBB most of the times is a benign change.
Next, there is T wave inversion in avl which is also benign in most of the cases.
So overall, there are no significant abnormalities seen at present and it's not worrisome.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Age 32. I have a lot of anxiety and panic disorder. Chest pain, tightness, pain in left arm neck, shortness of breath. The cardiologist did a thorough check on my heart and everything looks good. Just that abnormal ekg worried me just needed some reassurance its not irbbb and looks normal. So I can put this worry to bed.
