Abnormal ECG

Posted By Laurie on June 23, 1999 at 11:14:02
I am a 41 yr. old female.  During a golf game last Sunday I began having severe pain and pressure in my left arm and left chest area.  It did not go away and I eventually went to ER for help.  My blood pressure was extremely high and the nitro did reduce the pain and my blood pressure.  It was certainly nothing like I have ever experienced.  My ECG stated Early transition-QRS positive in V2.  The ER doc referred me to a cardiologist and sent me on my way with an RX for Nitro.  Before I could get to the specialist, I ended up back in the ER again--once again, severe pain, high bp and this time my ECG said Nonspecific ST and T wave abnormality.  I have an appt. to see a specialist next week.  I have coronary disease and heart problems in my family.  What tests can be done to detect a blockage in me? What do the ECG results possibly tell us?  I am a very healthy, busy, business woman.  I am a single mom and travel for work.  I am never ill and am pretty darned scared about this.  What do you think?  Thanks for your input.  Laurie
