An ECG is fine, painless and is over before you know it!

You're a guy so you'll be okay taking your shirt off for them to put on the little sticky patches. Usually, as a woman they ask you to take off your bra... the doctor was really hot, and didn't ask me to take off my bra, which i was quite disappointed about, so i made up a gynae problem. I'm only joking!

You lie down, they put some littlee sticky patches on and then attach some wires. Personally i think you look quite cool - you feel nothing. You just lie there, and then you hear the printer go and it's done. Someone looks at it in about 5 seconds and usually says "looks fine" but will show Dr to check, or sometimes they just give straight to doc, but that doesn't mean it isn't fine, it just means the person taking the reading isn't qualified to read the ECG, so don't fear that if they don't give you an immediate answer that there is something wrong!

You will be fine! X
