EKG: An electrocardiogram (EKG) is indicated for symptoms like palpitations and chest pain. Chronic chest pain on exertion could be stable angina. Conditions to rule-out include myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation. If symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath persist, patients should be evaluated at the emergency department.
