Thyroid or Heart ?
Posted: 06-28-06 15:24pm

Hi, I just got a copy of an EKG I had done two months ago that my dr told me was normal. The machine reported an abnormal ECG, cannot rule out anterior infarct, age undetermined. The dictator crossed it out and wrote late transition, otherwise normal. I have also recently been diagnosed with possible thyroid cancer and am having surgery next week. My thryroid levels are are normal, so I am wondering if my dr should be paying more attention to my heart? My heartrate has been elevated lately, dr attributed it to stress so am on xanax. Help, worried enough.<br>

A “possibility of thyroid cancer” is more urgent and threatening to your health than a "late transition" reading on a ECG report. Some ECG-apparatuses have machine interpretations but remember: An ECG-report can be interpreted only by the doctor. I recommend you focus on the thyroid operation and postone questions about your heart until afterward when you can seek help from an expert.
