This is one for your doctor because inverted T waves are merely an indicator of several possibilities including
Coronary ischemia ... your heart isn't getting enough blood due to coronary artery disease which can be due to many factors
Ventricular hypertrophy ... the muscle of left ventrical in particular has thickened (like a body builder's muscle, except with the heart muscle, which, if it thickens, can't pump blood out of the heart as effectively essentially then starving the body of blood.
Some medications can affect the heart so as to produce an inverted T wave.
With your history, and other tests, such as a stress test, or other indicators from the EKG, your doctor will have to make the diagnosis.
Worth noting, an inverted T wave in a child can be totally normal. Worth noting too is that even in an adult an inverted T wave may simply be a result of even mild hyperventilation due to the anxiety of the test.
It would be illegal for anyone on an online forum to give you a diagnosis. For starters, the people answering questions here are not doctors ... we're just interested in cardiac health after some event that has touched ourselves personally or someone close to us. Invariably too, there isn't enough information that can be conveyed like this to provide a diagnosis anyway. The EKG machines commonly do a simple analysis of the EKG and give a suggestion, but they are doing little more than we can do.
Your doctor will analyse your EKG, your history and interview you about things like diet, bloodwork etc and be able to give you an accurate diagnosis.
That said, don't ignore this because the results COULD be serious.
