After I found out that this shows heart disease as well as heart attack it made my health anxiety go waaaaay down. After I found out that oxygen saturation being low could be a sign made me feel better too, and mine was 100 percent
Hey man I hope you are doing okay, I'm struggling rn with health anxiety. How are you ? What tips can you give me because i also did an EKG test and it turned out really well
I have a massive fear of EKGs and I honestly don’t know why because it doesn’t hurt or anything but I’m so scared of them, they make me cry even thinking about them. I was supposed to have one a few months ago but I refused because the last time I had one I was crying so much and ended up having an anxiety attack. I know that it’s probably the most stupid fear ever and I wish I knew why I was so scared of EKG
Brielle Galli I think what it might be with me as they I don’t like lying there topless with someone I don’t know, it just gives me serious anxiety. I can’t do it at all but I honestly wish I could
@@kaylalloyd869 omg same I'm getting one in a few hours and I'm honestly so scared too. Like I have super bad anxiety about it because I don't want to be topless and like I actually would just rather cry and not do it than have to do that.
Hi, i hve an interview tom for ekg technician and I'm so nervous.. i don't what are they gonna ask but this video kinda helps me.. any tips? or do you have more videos? thank you 😊
i had to have one done yesterday in the doctors office and cause i have a pacemaker i have to go back to a actual heart doctor to re do it today i am hoping and praying it all goes better today cause i am having thyroid surgery in April on the 11th and this is all part of pre op i already got the Chest xray done and the blood work this is the last on this list if this does not work then i have no clue what the surgion will do but i have tried my best to get it all done it was painless yes but the surgion knowing i had a device in my body should have told me to go to a Heart doctor to begin with and not my family doc could have made my life easier .
So i just had one done and this was my second time in 17 years. The gentleman didnt have me lay down in fact i was sitting up had my legs out. Had me lift my shirt up he attached some to my chest under my breast one on stomach one on each back of hand as soon as he hooke up the last wire he pushed a bitton and immediately took everything off said i would have results end of day that was Monday was it done correctly since he didnt have me lay down or put any on my legs??
I’m a teenage girl. I’m very nervous about having one done for my heart murmur tmro. Any tips? This is a little tmi but I really don’t want take my bra off 😭
@@Lola_toast hey!! Don’t be nervous it was actually fine! Don’t wear a wired wear or you’ll have to take it off, wear a sports bra! But honestly it took like 1 min and it was fine!!
Watermelon Furryz when your heart flutters do you feel like you can’t breathe for a second? i’m 20 years old and everytime i get my vitals done they are in great shape but i noticed sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat and i can’t breathe for a second and after i recover my heart feels like it’s beating extra hard for a couple minutes after everything happens and sometimes i get a headache. this only happens about once or twice a month, but just recently it happened three times in the span of like 10 seconds so i’m worried now.
M no I don’t get that. Mine seems to be more in the muscles. Feels like a muscle twitching. I can actually see it twitching. Now it happens in different places as well. My neck hurts all the time now though. My heart pounds at night when I turn over in bed abruptly. I have been taking CoQ10 vitamins. I don’t really notice it as much. But it is there. My Apple Watch records my heart rate, and it shows that my heart goes above 120! Not sure how accurate it is though. It does worry me.
M I don’t have any insurance and I’m not working right now. I finished school to be an educator, but there is a hiring freeze at the moment, but as soon as I get a job with insurance I’m gonna be the doctors best patient. 🤣. Whatever it is it affects my muscles and joints as well. 🤷🏾♂️ the world just don’t make em like they used to. My grandparents lived forever. I’m over here hoping I can make it another 20 years at 40. Smh. I know.
My first appointment was with a guy and I had on a sports bra and he let me keep everything on and just put them on under the sports bra! But for my second one, I got to wear a gown (on backwards though, “like the opening in the front) and definitely was more exposed
If men (or woman, because we can't discriminate in society these days cause god forbid we call a man a man) if they have hair on their chest, can we just instead of remove the enitre chest hair to fit the electro and not shave the entire chest ?
heard some doctors save $$ by asking receptionists to do the hookups because Ekg people make too much $$ for something that take minutes?? not a promising career i think lol
I'm having one done tomorrow and didn't know what to expect. This was very helpful. Thank you

@@alexusbaby8929 I'm getting one done tmr because my heart is beating kinda fast

They are really that fast they don't hurt at all
Yes they are no needles or pain I know because I get one every year for my pyschial
if you have chest hair the sticky glue can stick to them.
Such an expensive test for on a few seconds.
This is the first video I founs that actually shows what happens. Thank you!
It takes longer to set you up than the actual test..
I've had them stuck to me during a surgery. Painless, but I've had so many stuck to me that I've found one stuck in an unexpected place the next day.
Where exactly was this "place?"
Mindraker1
Same here! They forgot some from my surgery I guess ..
Thanks for the video I have to take my 9-year-old in next week this has helped me show him what to expect and now he's not so nervous
Thank you for this I am currently on my way to get one so thank you for showing me what will happen and I'm not as scared now 😊😁
how did it go bro
Does the placement of the electrodes differ depending on the reason for the procedure?
It's usually a 12 lead ekg, 6 precordial(chest) and 2 on the arms and legs, all ekg placements should be the same no matter what
Thank you this was very helpful/ feeling a lot better after watching.
Thank you for this. I am scheduled for an EKG in 3 few weeks and was nervous. I'm shy about being exposed like this.
How did you make out? I hope you got a clean bill of heath and wish you the best in good health!
Need one to tryout for college football. This is nice to know what will be done. Thank you!
I have to get my EKG certification for nursing school. Helpful video !
The guy seemed completely over with this.
😂😂😂
I have to get one tomorrow & I’m nervous I just don’t want anything to be wrong with my heart 😬

Dont. I ve had many many many ekg s done before. Piece of cake
It's okay everybody is usually afraid of something almost all people. Maybe next time you'll do better hopefully!
@@kaylalloyd869 omg same I'm getting one in a few hours and I'm honestly so scared too. Like I have super bad anxiety about it because I don't want to be topless and like I actually would just rather cry and not do it than have to do that.
Crazy that you can have a watch capable of doing this now

I am a teenage girl and i am extreamly nervous to get this done, do i need to like show my chest?
That's why I'm scared toooo I had to take my shirt off when I was 5 and my friends 13 and had to take her shirt off completely with nothing under it
Had one today. Not the first one I've had due to family history of heart disease.
i had to have one done yesterday in the doctors office and cause i have a pacemaker i have to go back to a actual heart doctor to re do it today i am hoping and praying it all goes better today cause i am having thyroid surgery in April on the 11th and this is all part of pre op i already got the Chest xray done and the blood work this is the last on this list if this does not work then i have no clue what the surgion will do but i have tried my best to get it all done it was painless yes but the surgion knowing i had a device in my body should have told me to go to a Heart doctor to begin with and not my family doc could have made my life easier .

I am having one done within the hour, so this is helpful
Even though the camera is at an awkward angle I’m seriously concerned about the positioning of the V1 to V4 electrodes!
The only painful part about the EKG is taking that dang tape off.
Im getting one of these on monday. Im a 9 year old 4th grader who is having an ekg test because i have complained about chest pain.
I hope everything worked out for you
I'm probably going to need one done
I’m a teenage girl. I’m very nervous about having one done for my heart murmur tmro. Any tips? This is a little tmi but I really don’t want take my bra off 😭

I remember i got one da nurse put da sticka thing in my boxers is dat normal?
650.00 bill for , just finished my scan
Get my result 6 April
BRB
This test sucks. Because my irregular heart beat happens intermittently throughout the day! This only tells what happening right now.
pimpmyride yeah but if it happens through the day it’s probably fine if they didn’t find anything while they did it as my heart flutters sometimes
Watermelon Furryz when your heart flutters do you feel like you can’t breathe for a second? i’m 20 years old and everytime i get my vitals done they are in great shape but i noticed sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat and i can’t breathe for a second and after i recover my heart feels like it’s beating extra hard for a couple minutes after everything happens and sometimes i get a headache. this only happens about once or twice a month, but just recently it happened three times in the span of like 10 seconds so i’m worried now.

pimpmyride so odd, i hope everything’s fine and you get checked if you haven’t already.

I have one in a few days and I'm nervous, I hope I get to keep my shirt on 😭😭
Can you tell me how it went down?
Yeah same I have one today
@@briellegalli6464 how did it goo
How did it go? My wife had one and it sucks coz it was a male staff who did it and she had to remove her bra
My first appointment was with a guy and I had on a sports bra and he let me keep everything on and just put them on under the sports bra!
But for my second one, I got to wear a gown (on backwards though, “like the opening in the front) and definitely was more exposed
Seems to be part of my regulare check up. When I went before I was too hesitant to have it because I needed to lie flat with about a one inch pillow.
I have to get one done soon, wish me luck :)
Good luck! 🙏
@@YouLookinAtMe-Bro thank you!
SAME BROO IM SCARED 😔☝️
@@catty6825 Try not to be scared Cindy.
I had one done before my ablation and it was totally painless.
@@YouLookinAtMe-Bro Im trying haha! Im just scared that they find something wrong with my heart :’)

Takes longer to setup than the actual test the worst part is getting shaved if you are hairy like me
does an EKG hurt?
Yes. Extremely
Im just kidding I dont know
No I had an EKG. It doesn’t hurt.
@@Kidddas thanks for that information.
The test is painless but when they remove the stickers your hair gets pulled out. I nearly cussed.
But they’re so cold D:

Do they electrocute you
