Default Repetitive stim tomorrow - nervous!

I have my repetitive stim test tomorrow and am just curious what to expect.. I Have had three emg/ncv in the past, but never a repetitive stim...
How long does it usually take? They told me I am scheduled for a 90 minute appointment.. I did not think that the repetitive stim test would take so long.. do they normally do an emg with that as well?

I am most nervous that they will find some bad/scary things, more than find something treatable etc.. I am not afraid of any of the pain at all, I just would like them to find an answer- well, as long as it's good news anyways! It's been a little over one year since my last EMG.. and not having a concrete diagnosis always makes my mine wonder to the very bad things..

Do they usually do the repetitive stim on the face too?

Thanks in advance!
