Thumbs Down Anxiety/ECG

Iv been experiencing palpitations and other symptoms of anxiety/panic attack for almost daily for about 2 months. I recently went to drs and was given an ECG to hopefully catch me whilst having 1(no such luck). I phoned up for the results today and was told I had to see the DR. Im scared to death now that something is wrong.

Is it normal to be called back after an ECG?

I wouldn't worry until you have reason. Maybe they're just want you there in case you don't understand what they're telling you and have a panic attack. Maybe they want to talk to you about anxiety meds or refererals to a specialist.
There are a multitude of innocent reasons. And heck, maybe they just want the money they'll get from having you come in instead of doing a phone consultation.
Take care...

Hi Sorry I dint post sooner. The reason I got called back was because my heart rate at the time of ECG was 109!!

He's doing some further investigations to make sure everything else is ok before he says its anxiety. Iv to have bloods done for anemia and thyroid as these can cause similar symptoms.

wow Allison, your Dr is being very thorough and not 'jumping to conclusions'

all too often, women are told that their palpitations are anxiety and to just relax a little

sigh
