Abnormal EKG & Large Breasts?
by Stacey_D, Apr 28, 2008 05:47PM
I had an EKG done a while back while hospitalized for optic nueritis, and was told by the resident cardiologist that it may be due to my large breasts. This was so ludicrous to me - even more so when he didnt do any follow ups - but it was a hectic time and I didn't pursue it with all the other stuff goin' on.
Is this common? And if so, why?
Thanks in advance!!

I had a cardiac electrophysiologist tell me the same thing after an abnormal stress test. I thought he was just being sexist, but I guess it's the same thing. I looked at him and was able to honestly tell him that what he was seeing wasn't what he thought. I'd had a mastectomy and reconstruction prior to the stress test.
