Can nervousness affect an EKG?

I had an EKG in my doctor’s office. The doctor’s staff had trouble getting lead #1 to stay attached to my chest and a little trouble with two more leads. I have claustrophobia and almost could not finish the EKG. I think the test took about fifteen minutes. The test showed that I had left bundle block. Could this be a false reading due to my being very nervous?
