So I am an 18 year old male I went for a routine yearly checkup to my cardiologist today and I was a little anxious before going in. However, I started to settle back down as the EKG was about to be performed. The lady made a mistake while using one of the machines and made this very concerning face. Once I saw her facial expression, I could not calm down at all. My heart rate spiked up to 120BPM everytime they checked it. I felt so embarrassed and otherwise scared because now I'm convinced I have a heart problem having to do with heart rate.
The good news is that the doctor found no problems in the heart ultrasound but the only thing she was concerned about was the way I handled my excess worry and anxiety and was saying that worrying is not good for the heart in the long run. I felt a bit reassured that I was okay after the appointment but I have been constantly checking my pulse every hour because the situation scared me... It was all because of a mistake the doctor made.
I'm not sure if I should be worried.
