The process of getting an EKG usually involves a few steps. First, you will need to visit your doctor's office and fill out some paperwork. Then, they will likely ask you to change into a hospital gown or other clothing that allows them easy access to your body. Next, you will be asked to lie down on a bed or table, and then electrodes will be placed on your chest and arms. Finally, the machine will be hooked up and you will have to wait for it to analyze your heart rate.
