A member asked:

I am 16 years old and a girl and getting an echocardiogram tomorrow, what are they going to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't hurt: They'll put gel on your chest and then move a transducer (kind of a microphone) all around your chest wall taking videos which you can see and may enjoy. There are no needles and you won't feel a thing except the gel (which can be a little messy). Btw, your profile says you're 43...?
