Can anyone read an ECG?

Just that really.

I am interested to know what these show. The one where you can see the pj legs (!) is the second part.

Where did you have it done?

At home.
Paramedics.

It’s only a 3 lead ECG which gives limited info, and it’s not a perfect trace but from what I can see it looks normal - sinus rhythm, with a normal heart rate.

Paramedics would also have flagged up if anything of concern - they are excellent at looking at and interpreting ECGs.

As ever though, if you have concerns about symptoms etc speak to your GP/111!

Thank you. The heart rate was 100.

I was taken in to hospital and another one was done and some blood tests. Obviously nothing major wrong as I am out, . I was just intrigued to see whether that kind of 'waviness' meant anything.

Waviness just means the trace wasn’t perfect - normally because one of the stickers wasn’t quite sticky enough or the patient was moving around!

The waviness just means it's not a very good ECG tracing, sorry. No clinical significance at all.

OK, great . Thank you! It's not often you get your hands on your own ECG so I wanted to nose at what it might mean!

I had blood test on my heart so I know all is OK.

It's not a good trace unfortunately but if done by paramedics appropriate action would have been taken

Yes, I almost certainly was...
