Is Endoscopy A Normal Procedure?
I am slightly confused. My regular doctor had done an EKG in her office and detected an irregularity (I needed an EKG prior to having a breast lumpectomy) several years ago. So after that I had the stress test, echocardiogram and then eventually the EPS study and ablation because they decided that I had IVT. My doctor said that my echocardiogram showed signs that I had a heart attack at some time. I had pain for a week several months before this time and never went to the hospital for it. They said it might never happen again. Is this serious enough to disclose when I am going to have an endoscopy done.
