What Does An Ecg Show?
Posted: 03-10-06 05:18am

Hiya!

Ive been having chest pains ( under, some times above left breast) for a few months, they are also in my stomach area, like a pinching squeezing pain that comes in waves. The pain's also is in my back and sometimes shoulder and arm. My left hand has lost alot of senses when I touch something its just goes fuzzy.

I have had an ecg done at my doctors surgery and the results were completely normal, will this show all problems I could have with my heart? And do I know that its definatly not my heart?

My doc said I dont need anymore tests on my heart, he is confident that its not an issue because im so young

thanks for reading :)

It can show if you had a heart-attack-if there is any abnormalities but my sister decided to wear a monitor for 24 hours-i think that is so much better-it turns out she had a major heart problem and will have to always have a heart doctor. It's up to your doctor but sometimes if you drink too much caffeine or eat sugar it really speeds the heart up...Anxiety plays a major factor so don't worry too much...
