Abnormal EKG results



Recommended Posts

So, I had my EKG done on Friday and my PCP said it was 'abnormal'. Something about the t waves???? I am seeing the cardiologist on the 22nd. Does anyone know what I should expect?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

My EKG was Abnormal but I passed the stress test and had the surgery. The nurse said she always has abnormal EKG and it's nothing to worry about.

My EKG was abnormal as well. PCP sent me in for a Nuclear stress test (which isn't bad at all) and everything was fine, surgery is on Friday! The cardiologist said females are more prone to abnormal EKG's which are actually normal for them. If you aren't having any chest pain, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Good luck!

I'm so glad this post is here.

My EKG had upsidedown t waves too. I had my preop with the banding surgeon yesterday and mentioned this to him. His reply was that my pcp thought it was fine so not to worry. My pcp is an internist

so no worries. I'm glad to hear that womens EKG can be like that

day 2 of pre op diet

banding on 12/30

Hello:you are probley excited about the surgery,I dont think its nothing to worry about,I had one done yesterday and honestly I was looking for something to be wrong but the doctor said that I had a strong ticker,she says I need to do a stress test on you before you have the surgery and her nurse says well she has had ond not even 6 months ago so I got out of that,so dont let it bother you ,I think it was where you were excited.....keep your head up and do what they ask and you will be fine...camilleo1:D

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
