windfaerie 41 Posted April 18, 2014 I went to my GP today to get an EKG. This is the last of the pre-op test orders from my surgeon. My blood pressure was good 108 over 72. But the doctor said my EKG was not normal. Beats per minutes were 59 was all I was told. (Which has always been normal for me) He ordered me a referral to a cardiologist for a stress test and told me I could not be cleared without clearance from them. He would let my surgeon know. I called the cardiologist office and got an appointment to see the doctor for an office visit which they require first on Wednesday. They are not sure they can get me in that quickly for a stress test though. I am a bit worried. I do not want my surgery to be canceled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lkm96h 20 Posted April 21, 2014 Well I'm not a Dr , but I have that same problem. Not that this is the answer, but I have large breasts... 42GG. My cardiologist said that sometimes a technician does not place the leads on the right place on women with large breasts. You can look it up on the Internet. Before I had a procedure last fall, my EKG came back abnormal and I had a stress test and ultrasound and they cams back normal. I have my pre-op on the 25th. And I intend on planning for this issue. Good luck with this and hopefully it can be resolved. Look up abnormal EKG with women who have large breasts on the web. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
