They claim its because of the medicine.. . To justify EKGs on a biweekly to monthly basis. Yet never anything abnormal or 'wrong'?

Im betting a 6 chamber heart is some sort of neverbeforeseen.
I was never given a reason to justify the initiation of this process either; i had a tumor of the brain. So lets monitor your heart? Doesnt seem normal or right to me.
Please advise.

[b][c=BF0000]EKG vs ECG—What’s the difference?[/c][/b]
"EKG and ECG are actually different spellings of the same diagnostic test that monitors your heart's electrical activity. EKG is the abbreviation from the German spelling of electrocardiogram (which is elektrokardiogramm in German). The EKG abbreviation came into use because of where the test was initially invented.Nov 9, 2022"

I suggest reading all of the articles so that you will get an understanding of your probem. As your read think about some questions you can ask your doctor and write them down for your next visit. If you see something in the articles that you want to know more about Google the subject. Be aware that because of your age the cost of care will probably be very steep, depending on your health insurance plan.

Best of luck with your problem. Right now I'm getting radiation treatments for prostate cancer. I have 7 more to go. My Medicare Advantange health care plan pays for just about everything except for a few small co-payments. And I have a small out-of-pocket maximum limit per year.
