Hi Jamie, Recently my BIL went to the dr for a routine physical.. He's in his early 40's and SMO and smokes and has full blown diabetes.. The EKG said he was having a heart attack.. right then and there. He felt great and argued with them as they loaded him into an ambulance. He spent 3 days being poked and prodded at a teaching hospital (meaning lots of extra pokes LOL) and they finally decided that SOMEONE had misread the original EKG because his heart was as healthy as could be... I just wanted to add this to the list of ppl saying it was probably wrong. Take care hon.. we're here for ya!!

I had the same thing... but the cardiologist warned me that this is common with big breasted women... it has something to do with interference and is very often a false reading... I had to go as far as an angiogram to confirm that everything was OK. It was nerve wracking to say the least, but everything was OK in the end. Hang in there... don't sweat it... just another hurdle!
