Heart, breaking., originally uploaded by Kalshassan.

Well, that was boring. The ECG took about 1 minute, it was over before it had even started. I do however have a small bald patch in the middle of my (admittedly quite hairy) chest where it was shaved.

I have a very weird heart beat at the moment. For the last week or so
I've noticed that it's what might be called 'relaxed', ranging from just
above 40 beats per minute (bpm) to just under 60bpm. A quick google
revealed that a 'normal' pulse is considered to be about 60bpm.

The doctor didn't seem to think there was much to worry about as a) I'm
quite fit and b) I have none of the other symptoms (fainting, chest
pains etc) but I get to have an ECG on Monday
anyway, just for the fun of it :)

Even if there is nothing wrong with me I still get to say I have Bradycardia, as that
just describes the symptom.
