Hi all, 

Had my pre-op EKG today and turned out it was abnormal.  Being sent for a stress test some time this week and curious if anyone else has ever had an abnormal EKG before and how it all turned out?  I am kinda freaking out a bit.  Any insights, stories or similar experiences are welcome if you feel like sharing.  Thanks!

I had the same issue. No big deal. Some people's EKG's are just that way. Never had a problem. Good luck!

I had the same problem as well. I was sent for a stress test ...which also turned out abnormal and then actually had to have a second Thallium stress test with the treadmill. It all turned out fine... nothing was abnormal after all. I was freaked out too but they are just being cautious...good luck!!

Depends on what was abnormal. Usually it's nothing to worry about. I used to watch an analyze heart monitors for 8 years and know most abnormalities are nothing to worry about.

    

Surgery will be hopefully in October or November 2014, with Dr. Megan Gilmore

My EKG was abnormal as well.  I was sent for a cardiologist clearance, but did not have to have a stress test. He asked about my activity level and told me that the surgery would put about as much stress on my heart as walking up a flight of stairs, or taking my dog for a walk.

My EKG's are always abnormal.  The surgeon initially said it looked as if my heart could be enlarged, but I just have an abnormal heartbeat.  Wasn't sent for stress test or anything.

I've never had an abnormal ekg but I had a "perfect" ekg in the middle of a heart attack!

Hi everyone, 

Had a stress today and everything was normal.  Man that was intense just waiting and wondering.  Thanks for the stories and experiences - it helped me feel better.
