Do you mean and EKG? If so, they just place some stickies all over you and then press a button. 15-30 seconds later your done. Absolutely no pain.

I don't believe there are any pre-op tests that you will be put under for. I have not found any to be painful.

I've had 4 of them done in the last 6 months. Different physicians do them differently. Some do them in the office, under a muscle relaxant. You are awake, and it's uncomfortable. You end up gagging a lot. Done & over in 10 minutes though. Most doctors, (mine) does them on an outpatient surgical basis. They hit you with some morphine & versad so you are pretty much in lala land. You are actually awake and aware of everything that is happening. To someone who is watching, they will see you choking or gagging on the tube. You appear that it's not a fun experience. But the drug cocktail has an amnesic effect on you. After it's all done, you remember nothing. So for the patient, you think you went to sleep and woke up when it's over. Actually quite a nice way to do it.
