hello,my husband had recently done his medical exam for his work.The result are all normal except his blood pressure of which i say its unstable .thats why he was advice to have his 2d echo test.My question is what is the usual problem we can encounter when doing this kind of test.Please help me
Hi,2D echo is a very safe test with almost no complications. The technician will make him lye on a couch then he would use a probe(having ultrasonic waves) all over his chest wall to make different views of separate chambers of heart, he would use some jelly in between probe and chest wall.Sometimes rarely patient can be allergic to jelly(Allegra 180 can be taken). Apart from that there can be many bookish problems but in practical it's a 10-minute test with no problem. Thanks.
