Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
Soundls like you have a good gp there hun. I think your ecg will be fine xx
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
Glad you are getting some reassurance at last:hugs:
Can i just ask, do you have to go to hospital for an ecg or can you have them done at the doctors surgery or at home?
I want one doing because i have chest pain and short of breaths but i'm too agoraphobic to go to hospitals.
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
I think a lot of surgeries do them, I'm getting mine done at the surgery, and I know my mum's surgery do them too :)
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
I had my first one done at the doctors when I was about 17. It's in the part where the nurses take your blood and stuff! I don't know if this is the same in all doctors surgeries but just thought I'd share my experience xx
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
Yeah, that's what the doctor said to me - that the nurse will do it in her room and if there's any questions then the doctor herself will come through.. Got to have another apt the week after to analyse it then got to get my blood pressure and things checked as well. Soo pleased they are finally checking things out, I didn't even need to ask, just said I am getting palpitations and she said oh well you could have an ECG then, so relieved!
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
hm just got a cycle of about 6 of these beats in ten minutes but I was lying down at the time watching TV so maybe that's caused it. Got very dizzy, felt like I couldn't breathe and charged through to the kitchen to splash cold water on my face haha!
Re: So I'm getting an ecg...
I'm trying very hard not to panic haha, when I take a deep breath the centre of my chest hurts and I'm convinced something bad is going to happen :(!
