I'm wondering if an ECG can actually detect angina? I mean, should I be getting an ECG for just a minor or dull chest pain, even if I don't have any other symptoms?
It is recommended to get an ECG if there are symptoms of angina or any other heart-related issues. The frequency of ECGs may vary depending on individual risk factors and medical history. It is best to follow your doctor's advice on how often you should get an ECG. In case of minor or dull pain, do we need an ECG without having any other symptoms? Yes, even minor or dull chest pain should not be ignored, especially if it is recurring. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional who may recommend an ECG to rule out any underlying heart issues, including angina.
