First cardiologist visit

First cardiologist visit

I'm a 36 year old male with a history of hypertension (on medication) and a slightly elevated cholesterol. I had an EKG about three years ago and a stress test about two years ago (both ok at the time, although the EKG was borderline, whatever that means). I've been have having problems with palpitations and slight chest discomfort recently and have scheduled my first visit with a cardiologist next month. What can I expect to happen at the cardiologist appointment? What tests should I expect to have done? Will another EKG and stress test be needed?
