Just take your thumb and push it in under your breast tissue - its a sensitive area.
an ultrasound will also take a bit longer, at a hospital if they do a full protocol ~ 20
to 30 minutes - if it is a quick and sleey place like 10 to 15 mins

The cardiologist has it done in his office but he?s one of the top two cardiologists in our area, so that doesn?t worry me. The hospital is about 1.5 miles away if I run into problems.
I?m very sensitive due to the pain I?m in but I?m on Morphine twice a day so pain shouldn?t last too long. I have an extra Oxy boost if needed. 10-15 minutes of discomfort..., oh well
