I am so tensed up by my doctors appointment tomorrow. I am flipping out all ready. I am having an echo cardiogram done and I have no idea what that is. I have been having weird cramps in my chest area and bad heartburn. To be on the safe side my therapist is having it done,
I have never had a issue with my heart before and my b/p is good and I don't have high cholesterol. I am just scared over the results. I have made myself panic bad.

I'm pretty sure that's what I had done on Friday. If so, it's just an ultrasound of your heart. You just lay on your side and they run the probe all over the area and take pictures and record sounds. It was a very simple test!

I was having weird, sharp, pinching pains in my chest for a couple of months, along with other strange sensations. Apparently it's stress, muscular/nerve or possibly indigestion. It definitely was worse when I'd think about it or get stressed. WAY worse! Since hearing all was alright on Friday, I haven't felt it that much.

I hope you get some great results today so you can rest about this.

I am happy to report. I have bad heartburn. e put me on meds for them and recommended a acid suppressor.I did not need the echo thingy done, because my b/p and sure was excellent. Us worriers anyway.

Good to hear, and don't stress the echo if you ever need one. It's nothing. It's actually very interesting to see.
