Ever Had An EKG?

Went for my first one while conscious. I had many when in a coma. I was told it would take twenty minutes, hurt a little, and try to stay calm.

It took one minute to hook up the leads, one minute to run the scan, one minute to remove the leads. No pain or discomfort, no trauma, no big deal.

Doctor came back in two minutes, read results, said all was good, scheduled an ultrasound of the heart in March, and that's it.

Didn't sleep last night due to worry over nothing. Heart damage didn't show, extra 'lub dub' not detected despite other physicians assistant claiming so. Ultrasound will go deeper to assess damage.

I'm no longer listening to people who tell the horror of medical tests. Having blood checked weekly hurts; this was easier than eating.

I'm curious if others have had the test.
