Abnormal ecg

[Knic]

Hi everyone,

I have been having a few symptoms, which I’ve posted about previously - tight chested, lightheaded, dizzy and feeling like I’m not getting enough air.

Today the dr wanted an ecg to be done, it was done by a nurse who then took the results to be looked at by the dr. When she came back in she said the dr had seen something and will call me tomorrow 😣 so now I’m feeling so anxious about the abnormal ecg. I had an ecg done by paramedics last week and they said it was normal- although their machine was playing up 😔

After the nurse came back from the dr, she asked me if I drank, smoked and weighed me- I am 35, within my BMI and I don’t smoke… I like the occasional drink but that’s it.

I’m really worried at what they say on the ecg, I would hope if they were concerned they would be acting sooner… but their not the best surgery 😒

If there had been anything serious your GP would have called an ambulance. This happened to a friend and he had stents later that day.

Your GP probably just wants to double check with someone more experienced. Remember they are a GP and not a cardiologist. Try not to overthink things.

My GP consulted with a cardiologist who diagnosed AF and my GP isn't convinced it is, argued against it in a meeting with the cardiologist and his colleagues 🤷‍♀️
