I have an appointment to see my GP later today and plan to ask him to refer me for an ECG (I keep fainting and I've already had blood tests).
I was just wondering does anyone know roughly how long I'll have to wait for the ECG appointment? I'm in Glasgow.
Thanks.

It doesn't even require a GP to give you an ECG, the practise nurse can give you an ECG in your GP's surgery, and then your doctor can take you through the results, either in person or over the phone.
Good luck!

Thanks for the replies, I'm not sure if my GP surgery does ECGs or if I have to be referred on, I'll find out this afternoon
Take care everyone!

I doubt you will find a GP surgery nurse that does not do ECG's.
