Has anyone here gotten an Echocardiogram done?

[Ch1gga]

I'm gonna ask my GP to refer me to a Cardiologist for a Electrocardiogram & Echocardiogram. What is it like? Does it take a long time & is it uncomfortable?

You just sit on a table. Why do you need an EKG?

Yes, two weeks ago. It didn't take long, and was actually relaxing and simple.

Because I have heart problems.

Because I have heart problems.

What symptoms? I have a leaking heart chamber, so I have flutters every day or random episodes of very intense beating. If it's something else, then the cardiologist will figure it out.

The symptoms I have are pretty vague, I have actual chest pain & my heart beats fast under very little stimulation.
