Thank you for clarifying. I have a stress test scheduled as part of a comprehensive workup. My anxiety is sky-high.

I'm 43 I have a stress test this month and I've never had surgery this helped me out so much with my anxiety because I was worried about what was going to happen

I am very impressed about your honesty. Lot of clinic prescribed stress tests as a mean to make more money. As you said in the beginning of the video, stress tests should not be done if no symptoms and no history of heart disease

Being married for half century is a stress test....this looks like a walk in the park compared to the last 50 years...Thanks Doc!!

I just had this done to me today (Lexiscan), and because it was foreign to me I got scared, but I only felt pressure as if they were filling your body up with something, like in the Matrix and you thought you were drawning and pulling you in different directions. At one point they did ask me if I wanted to call the Ambulance and I said no is not that bad, is pressure, slight headache, dizzy and at the end, you can taste the metal. It wasn't an awful experience at all, but it wasn't roses either, but no pain at all!

Thank you for being so thorough. I am so anxious… I’m 25 and I’m scheduled for my stress test on Monday.

Thank you for an informative and straight forward video. I have a stress test tomorrow and this is exactly the type of information I was looking for!

Super-informative video- great job explaining exactly what to expect during a stress test! I had a stress-echo test about a year ago… I was a bit nervous about this test, but actually did well thanks to all of the heart-healthy changes I’ve made in my life.

I’m scheduled for one today. I wasn’t sure about what to expect, I feel better prepared now. Thanks for doing this ☺️

Had to get this scheduled today. HR @ 230 while sleeping. St. Jude bedside monitor detected this rate. Pacemaker implanted 93. ASD repair. I’m 47 female and I don’t have time for this!

I have to do this same test and I'm 17. I don't think I'm going to last that long. I'm hoping to make it to 2 mins but this information helps my anxiety about passing out and what the information means. Thanks Dr

I’m 38 and had a stress test last year and they stopped it early because of too high BP. Now I’m on beta blockers and an ARB medication. This year I was only able to make it to 6:45 before I had to stop. Still haven’t heard back from the cardiologist and I’m worried.

Sturnum pain 2 days later from the dam treadmill lol. I am short and the things bar is too high.

[ucanoe]

Thank you Chris, i just had a stress test yesterday, and noticed that my BP reached a very high 182 or more over ??? on the screen mid way through the test...is that normal after about stage 4 in the test.
