Worried about ECG results.
Hi all,
I had an ECG on Wednesday as was having quite a bit of chest pain and it was starting to bother me so GP did an ECG there and then. Although GP said it was normal and sent me on the way I did notice on the ECG that it had noted "minimal right-precordial repolarization disturbance, probably aspecific change".
I know replorization can be associated with SCD and it's worrying the hell out of me. Chest pain is continuing mainly on my left side of chest (just below left breast area). Really don't know what to do...
Re: Worried about ECG results.
I know from personal experience that the ecg print out can be over sensitive and nothing beats a cardiologists/drs word. I panicked for months waiting for my cardiology appointment because mine says inverted t waves and cannot rule out previous heart attack. I was worried sick but my cardiolgist said it didnt mean anthing as my heart was fine. Try not to worry (easier said than done) but if its still playing on your mind in a few days then ask your dr about it and beleve what he tells you. Good luck x
Re: Worried about ECG results.
I've many ECGs. Most are normal sinus rhythm etc, but one night I got one that said "left atrial enlargement;" worried myself all up about it only for the doctor to come back and say it was normal. I asked her about it and she said the read outs at the top are often wrong for a variety of reasons.
Re: Ectopics and chest pain
Can posters, especially those who are posting a lot about a variety of fears please confine their posts to one thread.
This helps others to build up a clear picture of what is happening and makes it easier to offer suitable advice.
You may not see the pattern but usually it is there, especially if you are posting frequently about different things.
Due to technical problems it is proving difficult to merge posts so for the moment any posts that we feel should be on a previous thread will be closed, allowing you the opportunity to re-post on your existing thread.
Your co-operation with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Elen,
Although I appreciate the point of your post for those posting very frequently but my last post on this subject was over 3 months ago so don't really understand why this has been aimed at me?
Re: Worried about ECG results.
I don't really have anything constructive to say Ash, but I'm right here with you panicking! I hope that your results hurry up and you feel better about it really soon xx
