    I would think thats the oerfect scenario actually. Then you could actually see what it does. Ask the doctor.

    I had a panic attack during one...but I don't know what the ST elevation was.

    ​I was not nervous at all...I just all of a sudden started to panic...and the woman told me to breathe...I whispered (cause your not supposed to talk)...that I was having a panic attack.

    ​She said that she could "see' it.....and they documented it in thier report.  I'm surprised that other people have these attacks as we are just laying still.

    ​I was happy I had one because it felt good for me for them to see...that I DO have panic attacks!  Alot of people tell Drs they have panic attacks...and I don't believe everyone that tells me that they have panic attacks.....I think some people exaggerate...so for mine to show on a scientific test...made my day really.
