I went for an ECG today and my heart was racing. I tried to slow it down but I just couldn't relax. It was 144bpm and the Doctor said that all he could notice was that it was very fast.
Obviously it's not usually like that, at home I can get it down to about 70. But I'm just worried that because it was so fast, it will be more difficult to pick up any abnormalities on the results.
I've been particularly worried about sudden cardiac death causing conditions and I'm concerned that these will not have been ruled out due to the fact that my heart rate was so high. Will the Doctor still have been able to notice any serious conditions?
