You can rest your mind the inverted T-wave is a mere descriptor of the cardiac waves on the ECG. If they are not showing up anywhere else and you are not having any symptoms which can be related to the heart then, the person who gave you the information should've gone on to tell you what I'm telling you. The advice is not to further concern yourself with this detail and find a good therapist or psychologist to help you with what I believe is a bigger concern that you probably have which is the panic attacks.
