Can an EKG make available a false positive for muscle injure to the heart?
I went to a doctors appointment the other day and they told me that the last two EKGs done on my heart showed that I have muscle damage from a previous heart attack (which I never even knew occurred). The first EKG that I had done a year ago showed a signifigant amount of muscle sprain to my heart. The one I had a few weeks ago showed some damage, but not as much. I'm worried sick about this because I own to wait a month to see my cardiologist about this issue. Also, I'm 25 years old and finally getting my life span together and now I receive this news. Would any of you in the healthcare pen know about this stuff?
Answers: Calm down and breath. And don't ponder I'm being mean but you state getting your life together. Did you do any manner of uppers (recreational) in the past. If so the reason why the EKG is recovering but shows reason for concern is you had what is known as silent heart attack. This is adjectives in people of your age that have used recreational drugs. It is only just a fact that they are hard on the body. Know you say it looks better, and you are getting your natural life straight, well that means your heart is trying to heal as much as it can but nearby is unhealable damage already done even if are doing good now. Can't coppers the past only the future. Now you know first paw what it can do, one more reason to stay away from it. He is sending you to a cardiologist to see if he can help you digit out how much it affected the ability to pump good, and give support to you get the most out of your heart that's all. So keep your appointment and hold straightening your life out. If wrong about drugs, sorry but at your age that would be the most likely article okay. Anerexia is also another reason for a woman so young to have heart wound notable on EKG.
By any chance did you mean to type HypERthyroidism (overactive) instead of Hypothyroidism (underactive)? Because that can cause A-fib.
The other point is, if you have AF at this age even if it was secondary to hyperthyroidismm you would promising have already seen a cardiologist in the recent past? Please re-edit with more info if you can.
