Anyone ?? Terrified il just go into cardiac arrest

They wouldn't let you just walk out if it was something seriously wrong.

I think you are winding yourself up more so it makes the stress and worry worse and then you get more symptoms.

They did ecg again this time there was loads of things written including long qt the doc said it just printout it fine but I'm freaking out I'm so scared can printout be wrong she said she worked it out manually but what if she did it wrong or said it to shut me up helpppp

I have merged your threads together

Thank you I'm beside myself there was so many things listed I know the machines aren't reliable but it the long qt thing it's always been my biggest fear the day before it was normal

I haven't slept had two ecgs this week one said t wave probly and widened qrs went back next day in state said flat t wave rsr in v1 v2 low voltage wander from baseline and long qt I went into meltdown over long qt I'm waiting to go into cardiac arrest the doc said she manually calculated my qtc and it was normal but I'm doubting it how can an ecg say so much is wrong and it not be pleasee help I been a crying mess for four days stupidly googled read low magnesium can cause it I wasn't born with long qt all my ecgs in past been normal the one the day before said not qtc I had calcium and potassium checked but they don't check magnesium

Why don't you talk to your doctor again about this as I am not sure anything we say is helping.

tried they waiting for copies of the ecgs sick of anxiety questioning everthing and not trusting anyone

I've been told by two paramedics and a doctor, that these EKG machines are EXTREMELY sensitive to movement. So if you're nervous and shaking even just a tiny bit, or tense in any way, they will pick it up and it can affect the reading on the ECG. The computer writes an automatic 'report' on the signals it picked up, based on algorithms.

My doctor said that because the EKG companies don't want to get sued, they pick up every tiny movement. The thing is, he said, is that doctors and cardiologists have actually been TRAINED to read and interpret these ECGS properly. ECGS need an expert (a human one at that!) to actually decipher it.
