I’m not sure on that one so please ask at the hospital where you’re supposed to have the ecg. They should be able to tell you. Xxx

I’ve had ecgs so many times on various drugs with no problems, after all it is non invasive and shows what your heart is doing, but you could always ring the department and ask if you are concerned.
