Erection during medical test

It's supposed to be normal to get an erection during an intimate medical exam, or so I've read online. However, I was recently taken to A&E after experiencing chest pain, and was given an ECG. After I lifted my t-shirt and the nurse began to apply the contacts, I started to get an erection. As I was wearing rather loose boxer shorts and thin cotton pyjama bottoms at the time, there was no way of hiding what was happening, so I began to panic and said something about the problem. The nurse said not to worry about it and carried on, at which point the erection began to subside. So, my question is, has anybody else had a similar experience of being sexually aroused during a non-intimate procedure? Is it normal? I've not found very much about this online and it's spooked me a bit.

NOTES: It may be worth mentioning a few relevant details. I've had plenty of medical tests and examinations done, for some of which I have been naked from the waist down, but have not been sexually aroused, with two exceptions:

1. I was visited by a GP who came to examine my foreskin. He pulled it back and I got a partial erection. So far, so pretty normal.

2. The nurse at the hospital was male and I only got a partial erection. But I was also previously visited at home by a female nurse who did an ECG. I was in bed for this. I had to remove my t-shirt and the nurse needed to shave part of my chest. I got an erection on this occasion too, but it was a full one. Fortunately, my lower half was covered by the duvet. I still had to get out of bed and sit on the edge while the contacts were fitted, but the erection had subsided by then, thank goodness, as it would have been really obvious.

I am gay, BTW.
