Hi and thanks for this query.

It is not known that challis can affect an EKG reading. Did you have any issues with your EKG strip? If yes, report the change to me for more insights.

I wish you well.

My Doctor noticed small change in my EKG this year when he compared to last year's EKG. Reading up on EKG's I read that taking Viagra 24 to 48 hrs prior to an EKG could affect the results. Was not sure of this info and that is why I sought your opinion. Thank you.
