I have controlled high blood pressure but no family history, am a 50 year old male and my doctor does and EKG every year at my annual physical. I have had two nuclear stress tests and three echos over the past 3 years, all negative but he still insists on an EKG, yours should as well. I'm sure they can do it at their office and it only takes a couple minutes, I would ask for one for sure.
Good Luck,
Jon
It wouldn't be anything for them to do one in the office. They SHOULD have one in the office, I almost think it is standard practice. Ask them for one, better yet DEMAND one. I also think with the history of heart disease you should also be sent at least once a year for a stress echo. Good luck to you!!!
