Right so I've had ecgs all of them were nomal except 2 which were abnormal before them I had x rays and blood tests as well went hospital when the ecg was really abnormal at the time I was panicking and then when we got hospital I was okay again an ecg was normal.. Had ct scan on lungs and echo on heart all normal and also blood tests all normal.. I sometimes get chest pains and when I went a and e they went but my ecg was abnormal and she asked was I getting the pains when I had ecg I said no she weren't that bothered then sent me into waiting room to talk to someone but its happened once before so I just went home.. I always have chest pain but the past few days I've rarely had it so that's good I guess.. Any help on this would be amazing.. Would use suggest getting thyroid or vitamins tested? Anything like that... The doctor said he would get thyroid checked but don't think he did

An ekg is only as good as the person interpreting it. Lead placement can mess up an elf too. Too many people rely on the computer in the machine to say whether it is normal or not and they can be inaccurate. You need a cardiologist who is good in electrophysiology. That being said if you went from abnormal to normal, I wouldn't worry. Bad things don't tend to disappear that quickly.

I think that Person might not be so good with ekg. What was abnormal about it? There are normal variants that can come and go like partial bundle branch blocks, non-specific changes in st and T waves that will read abnormal at the time. I had a bad ekg, the doctor called me week later and said looks like I was having an acute heart attack with other stuff. Said I need stress test. I had just run 5 miles. I went to great cardiologist who said this ekg isn't abnormal it shows no signs of heart disease, you have partial left bundle branch block. Also one of the leads was placed wrong. If you had an echo, blood tests those are a lot more accurate than the ekg. I was freak about me heart at one point and if I was in your situation I would be relieved that the tests were normal. If you really feel anxious, you could wear 24 hour holder monitor to see if it picks anything up.But if it is just chest pain that bothers you and the other tests were good try to relax, I know not so easy. How old are you?

You are fine, you have no congenital problems they are what cause young people to have heart issues. Your echo was normal, you are good to go. Anxiety whether you are having a panic attack or just have anxiety feeling can produce chest pains that come and go. You need to enjoy your day, you are fine!!!
