My stress test

I'll get the results on Monday but today was a day! I had to be at the hospital at 7:00 am. The doctor overslept and showed up at 7:45 I had a guy ahead of me. While I am waiting for my turn to do the treadmill part I had already had the first set of pics done. I hear code blue to the stress lab code blue to the stress lab. 15 minuets later the nurse asks to speak to me in private and tells me the guy before me coded and they finally got his heart started and was taking him to I.C.U. so it would be a few more minuets. By the time I got into the lab my heart rate was in the high 90's to low 100's. SO had to wait till my heart rate dropped before I was allowed to walk. I managed 6 minuets on the stupid treadmill before I had to get off. I finally got out of there at 11:30. Not a day I ever want to repeat!

Thanks for the update. Since they didn't yank you off the treadmill I should think that would be a good thing. Let us know your results. (Yeah, they haul you in bright and early and let you know results eventually.) HUGS

Gee, sucks to be that guy before you! I'd be very stressed if I knew they almost killed the one before me. Let us know how the test goes. I stopped mine due to exhaustion or they'd have killed me also. I got a phone call about mine being OK and I asked for a hard copy of the impression. I maintain my own medical file and always get a copy printed of every test and all my labs. It sure helped when I applied for SSD to have it all to mail in.

I hope you get a good report bmomma, that is a killer test, obviously in some cases literally. I made it through, barely. One second more and I would have done a faceplant.
