Medical clearance issue

I am beyond stressing! My surgery was approved and scheduled for 9/29. I had my medical clearance appointment this past weekend. My doctor never sent the script for a spleen ultrasound he wants done because on existing issue I have with my platelets. Fine. That's now scheduled for the Tuesday before the surgery. I had the ekg, blood work, and chest X-ray. The nurse at the hospital said it has to be sent over to my primary doctor for the clearance but everything looks great. I get to my primary today and he reviews it and says there is a problem with my ekg and he wants to repeat it. He does and the problem is still there. Inverted t waves. Said I need a stress test before he can clear me. I go to schedule it and nothing free until mid October. They are going to try and fit me in Monday. I go home and Google inverted t waves and now think I am about to have a heart attack any second! Im so nervous about my heart and I don't think the surgery is going to happen next week! Just venting. Thanks for getting this far lol.

@angie1381 Relax - it's not going to make things any better if you panic. If your Dr thought it was possible for you to have a heart attack - you can bet he'd have you admitted and getting tests immediately. If your surgery is delayed - just remember it's for your safety. Hope you make out fine. Stay strong and positive!

I had several ekgs lately that all came back abnormal. Had a stress test and some bloodwork and my heart turned out to be fine. They don't know what's causing my ekg to go all wonkey. Just know, apparently it's not just yout heart that can make these tests go wrong. Even though they don't know what's wrong, they seem to think everything is just fine.
