What exactly are they looking for? do they suspect a certain heart problem?
My famile Dr. ordered an ECG at my last full physical, and it showed I was tachycardic (rapid heartbeat) plus I've been having chest pains. I'm 99% certain that the chest pains are stress related since I am and have been under an incredible amount of stress for a long time. But I'm overweight, and on a slew of different psych medications, so my Dr. wanted to play it safe and so referred me for a full cardio workup.

I'm glad she's being thorough.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions on the lotion & aloe - I'll definitely try that, as my chest is quite irritated.
