Abnormal EKG
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 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!!
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.
