So I was originally told by the tech that everything with my EKG was fine.....

Well I found out today that it was abnormal and they require a cardiologist to sign off of the surgery for clearance for the anesthesiologist to put me under.....

WELL my surgery is tuesday and if I can't get clearance by then I'll have to reschedule. Which wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm traveling for this and the cost to change flights is very expensive and it's hard for me to get time off work as well.

So that being said, I managed to find a cardiologist that can see me Monday morning. I'm curious to see if I'll he able to get this clearance in one day? Or if it will take multiple visits?

Has anyone had their EKG come back abnormal and had to see a cardiologist? How long does this process take? Should I still hold out hope that I can keep my tuesday surgery date? Any experience is welcome.

P.s. sorry for the novel.

I hope this happens for me. I had an abnormal ekg but the technician did have a difficult time placing the electrodes on my boobs so I am hoping it came back abnormal because of that. I see the cardiologist wed and surgery is the following tues hoping everything works out!!

The doc explained it like "if I was to take some pregnancy tests at a nursing home, how likely would I believe one of the women there are pregnant if one came back positive?

You are no different. You're young. And have no comorbidities. The chances of you having had a cardiac event without knowing it are possible but statistically unlikely."

He said if you don't place it in the EXACT right place it will come back as abnormal on large chested women!
