EKG said I had atrial flutters but the dr said no lines showed that. (cause, normal)

[Layden85]

The computer labeled it as atrial flutters but the dr said all the lines were normal. I had major anxiety though and my pulse was 120 and my BP 150/100 which is what usually what it is when I’m at the dr. She thinks it all anxiety but is starting me on a low dose of Metropolol BP meds for preventive. Why would the computer label it as atrial flutters but the lines didn’t show that?

Because the computer-interpreted EKGs are garbage and completely inaccurate.

The human reading the EKG is much more accurate.

Maybe someday that will change but you can't trust the computer readings for now.
