    So I'm getting an ecg...

    My poor GP phoned me tonight and spent ten minutes trying to calm me down over everything - she says us girls are bound to have sore chests with exercise due to (her words) "having boobs that tend to bounce about and put a strain on your muscles". She said she doesn't think there is anything sinister - and my bloods are so far fine - but she wants to do a resting ECG anyway just for her and my peace of mind - some nurse is going to do it then she'll come through if there are any issues and then I have to see her the week after for a review I'm sooo happy they are taking me seriously for once

    Daisy Cake hi glad you are going to get your ECG i am sure it will all work out fine and put your mind at rest .

    I suffer with chest discomfort almost all the time Costalchondritis was diagnosed , also the Boobs thing seems to add to the strain on chest muscles mine are a rather LGE size .

    Take Care xxx

    Glad you are getting some reassurance at last

    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.

    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

    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!
