Should I Be Worried About EKG Test Result Having A Family History Of Heart Problems?

I am a 33 year old female, 4"9" in height and weigh about 107 lbs. I had an EKG done today and they tell there was something on it to cause concern. I am supposed to have a stress echocardiogram done. The doctor tells me it's just a precaution but I'm worried since I have a family history of heart problems. Am I worrying for nothing?
