Being on the cardiac unit means you'll be hooked up to an ekg the entire time you're there-lots of wires to disconnect from, etc. but also you WILL get better care and now they have physical proof that the job is stressing you out. Did they mention what the 'abnormality' was? Typically it's Atrial fib for stress. also when one of the leads comes off they come into the room and snap it back on to you which happens a lot.

get all the help you can. tell them everything that's going on at work and how you're being treated, past history, let it rip. The more they know about the stress of your life (live alone, hateful job with loathsome people, ex homeless guy bf, family nonsupportive, etc. etc., the more they can help you. Your NOT complaining your giving them history. let them know how bad it has gotten; your thoughts; your urges to drive your car into a ditch just to get out of work....it's ok. They've heard it all before, believe me, and they KNOW you're not crazy.

Love and good wishes, Claudette
