Does A Cell Phone Affect EKG Result?

A cell phone would not do that!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this abnormal EKG finding and all the inconveniences that this has caused you. A phone would not cause an abnormal and consistent EKG reading across all the leads. This is more suggestive of inherent cardiac origin than an external interference.
With you being a great athlete, a heart rate of 55 would not be concerning and more so because it causes no symptoms to you. I am however in support of the fact that he is doing other tests to investigate ore into this finding. It is better to get these done and at the end of the day say there is no problem with the heart than assuming is without investigations that may not be exactly true.
In all, this would most likely be a normal variant and greatly influenced by the athletic state. However, proper investigating before concluding is mandatory.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using ours services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
