What does an EKG show?

[Elizabeth04]

I'm just so fed up. My chest hurts all the time...

My doctor gave my flexeril and a medication for stomach ulcers... Cant think of the name

Anyways.... neither is working! Which brings me back to my heart... even though I try hard not to go there... but when nothing is helping i can't help it!

I'm thinking it's costochondritis, but gosh if it's that then it's taking sooo long to heal

I've had a EKG recently... and chest xray in the past. I'm sure something would have shown up by now, I'm just ready for this pain to go away

I believe its a cardiac monitoring system so they put leads on you to see your heart rhythm in a heart rythm you can see all kinds of things one being dehydration believe it or not also you can see if there is anything goig on with the way it beats wether its palpitating or V fib A fib you can see a lot by the rythm your heart goes in hope that helps also im no doctor lmao so dont take my post word by word i could be off i could be right on the noney but i deff know its to evaluate the heart and beat

My father had that condition you mentioned as long as I can remember. He was told it was arthritis and he would rub the same area so much that Mom had to get matching material to mend the holes that eventually formed in his uniform. His heart was in fine shape even at 90 when he died.

But that is a generation ago, so hope there is something available now to ease the constant discomfort for you.
