Thanks for the video, and the tips along the way. But please, for your patients' sake, put a poster of a nature scene, like a hiking trail or even a beach, so they have that to look at instead of a poster about heart conditions, which is the last thing they want to be focused on or reminded of during a stress test. You did put some comics about stress tests, but those don't give any kind of respite from the stressful lab tech atmosphere.

Cardio Monster? I have the same physique and 65 years old and they stopped the test just short of this because it was a stress echo as opposed to a plain old stress test. Know the difference? On a stress echo, once you hit your max heart rate, they need for you to immediately jump on the echocardiogram bed next to the treadmill and hold your breath for imaging. Yeah, try holding your breath when your heart is pounding at its max. It's great fun.

I am scheduled to go in for this test. The hospital told me that I cannot wear a bra for the treadmill due to all the hookups. I do not see how I am supposed to exercise like this without a bra when it hurts not to be supported just sitting at a table. Even a sport bra without underwire does not give enough support and I won’t be able to exercise like this video. I am very nervous about the alternative of just taking the Lexiscan from other comments I have read on the Internet. Has anyone had any experience with this - namely being told you can’t wear a bra and what did you end up doing? Thank you

[@user-fr9wg9ft3p]

I've seen that some placess will let you have a soft bra (no wires). Otherwise, I have no clue. I can't possibly perform at maximum without something to hold my breasts in place. Male really is the standard in medical testing isn't it.

[@afreshyou5266]

@@user-fr9wg9ft3p thank you for your thoughtful comment and suggestion. Because the medical facility where I had the procedure would not allow even a soft bra, I felt like I had no choice but to take the medication route to get my heart rate up. Because there are risks associated with that medication, a doctor was present in the room. I laid on a medical exam-like table while the test was conducted. It was okay. I am relieved that I chose that route as after experiencing how rapid my heart rate had to be. There is no way I could have achieved that heart rate on a treadmill without a bra. If I had to do this again, I would choose the medication method again. I did not experience and side effects from it, but everyone is different and reacts differently, so I would caution everyone to choose what they think is best for them.

Shortly after checking on at my appt. time, my name was called by what turned out to be a very outgoing, friendly but prpfessional tech. or N.P. who sat me at a table & attached an I.V. Into my arm/vein, which was used for 3 different injections over my 3 & 1/2 hr. visit. First one, I took to show the flow & actions of my heart after a period of nothing but rest. The 2nd was after I ate some lunch & relaxed for about 40 min. It was bit freakier bc I felt it consume me just about instantly as my heart bagan racing and I felt an overwhelming dizziness throughout my body & head. A bit scary but they injected another little cocktail about 4 or 5 minutes later that brought me back down to earth & normalcy. After that, another calming period of sitting in a chair to fully relax. I then took my final EKG test. That included 10 leads stuck on my chest, sides & abdomen. Not at all painful - just slightly awkward feeling. They sat me (not even lying in a tube) on this machine that scanned & took readings of how well my blood flowed. Then finally I was released to go home. I was not given any results yet. I get my follow up in a couple more days, which is when I will be advised of how we move forward. Btw- there was a treadmill right in the room but, I was never asked to use it. Overall, it was an easy experience. I don't care to repeat it though.

i had this question too. On my home treadmill it correlates directly with the percentage. So my level 15 is actually a 15% incline.

[@Unchainedful]

The level is not a incline percentage. Incline percentage is based on how steep the area you’re walking, for example a normal walk will equal 100% incline to climb/walk on a wall. Most mountains are at 75-90% incline. Level 15 on the treadmill at planet fitness equals 40-50% incline. Unless a rock climbing specialist went measure the incline, there’s no real way to tell the incline percentage.

On a stress test, the treadmill is calibrated to be the actual incline in degrees. Normal gym treadmills can be all over the place. Most of the more expensive equipment is calibrated to be true to the incline %. @@briannegnubu2346

[@miloradowicz]

Incline is defined as rise over run ratio. I.e. if for every meter of horizontal travel you climb 15 centimeters, you get yourself a 15% incline. To convert to degrees you just calculate the arctan of the incline as a fraction. So a 15% incline is arctan(0.15) ≈ 8.5°. You can calculate the incline yourself using basic trigonometry. Just measure the elevation of the front end of the deck over the rear end, the length of the deck itself, and then calculate the incline as elevation / root(length^2 - elevation^2).

I just had mine today and I am not sure if it goes for every hospital, but you try your best and do what you can do and when you reach that point you can tell them that you need to stop

[@SuperButterfly217]

The doctor gave me medicine instead of having me go on the treadmill, so it's different for everyone. The medicine helped my heart rate go up faster without having to walk.

[@madison7811]

@@SuperButterfly217 oh wow, i wish i could of done that instead

[@taylor4864]

I have my stress test this coming Wednesday due to my a-fib

[@juicy9600]

what is 10% grade? on treadmills it starts at 1.0

[@shadowbird8954]

The 10% would represent the ramp incline on the treadmill. For instance, 1.7mph (speed) at 10% (treadmill ramp incline). :)

[@thecatatemyhomework]

I'm not 100% sure but I think 1.0 is equal to 10%.

[@jacaranda3481]

level 10 is generally a 10% incline

[@K-xb2qz]

I swear when they sped up the treadmill on me i feel like they did the max. I felt like i was running faster thsn than i wanted to. They probably saw my physic and turnt it to the max😅. Im in great shape. Its harder than it looks for sure. I know a few times i ran 2 or 3 minutes straight fast speed. I was real tired at 10 minutes but pushed myself to 12. You dont have time to catch your breath. I felt pretty good afterwards. I was get nervous when my heart is beating that fast. It was intense. It felt like a really really intense workout. Nice music ❤

[@80sWavrDude]

The music is annoying.

[@johnnywright5236]

i have one in 2 day i walk 20 feet and can't breathe shoud be fun

[@lamper2]

I thought i did great but my Cariologist surgeon Guru told me my blood pressure was high at the end. then i saw a Stanford U study suggesting a high reading might mean you're actually MORE fit than most. Sounds hard to believe! although i gave the article to my guy and much to my suprise said "Hmm, interesting" Mine was a nuclear test

[@jessicacalinao4]

I turned my sound off on my cell watching it and it still feels like a long video.

[@ayokay123]

If you think this is hard, try a stress echo. You have to hold your breath immediately after you max out on the treadmill. Great fun.

[@ric9759]

Why do they continue administering the treadmill stress test when, so I've been told, the nuclear stress test is just as effective and not as dangerous... Thanks.

[@marthahubbard9463]

I would have watched but the music/noise stopped everything

[@ediebehnke2059]

My sternum hurt 2 days later from that treadmill lol.

Had to mute the loud music in the earbuds. It was stressing me out!! lol

[@dianalanum1872]

I just turned volume down

[@spec1923]

The music is annoying. Why does everyone have to have music? Very distracting adds no value

[@StevenBanks123]

Why can’t my “on hold” music be this?

[@ylcalif3681]

I thought there were supposed to be 7 stages . . . Doc only completed 4 stages. _______________________________________________ Answer: "A stress test involves walking on a treadmill until your heart rate reaches an established rate based on your age. If you're able to achieve this without signs of poor oxygen flow to your heart (ischemia), the stress test is over."

[@irvin099]

Hi i got stopped at stage 4 too (33 years). Is it bad?

[@user-fr9wg9ft3p]

Just let me sprint from the start, we can have this test over in less than a minute

[@Steve-nb9kg]

Have you tried it? I think only an Olympic athlete could complete all 7 stages. The last stage is 22% incline at 6 mph.

[@ThanhHoang-ec7ol]

I'm arrested it s good for 70 year old with stent for one time heart attack. Thank you

[@robertesell]

Why did you add the annoying music? I had to cut the sound in order to watch. Would have been better just to hear what was being said.

[@fukcg00gle95]

That didn't seem too bad.

[@meauxjeaux431]

No, it didn't, but take one and THEN say that ! The video shows nothing resembling what really goes on. He wasn't even breathing hard, much less gasping desperately for air for no less than 3 minutes after. That's what REALLY happens !

[@fukcg00gle95]

@@meauxjeaux431 I did have one the beginning of this year. Lasted the full 14 minutes. I thought my heart would explode but the test showed everything was normal. I actually felt pretty good afterwards.

ECG lead positioning incorrect. V1 and V2 wayyy to high . V3 completely wrong and V4 too low. you should have 1 rib between V2 and v4. its amazing how many incorrect ECG positioning you see in video's and pictures.

Fat nurse takes him off treadmill and immdiately puts blood pressure cuff...arm not level with heart. No back support.No rest period...Declare HBP and recommends 3 meds for life.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

I had 2 nurses when I walked the treadmill. One kept taking my blood pressure at intervals while I was walking. My pressure was quite high before I started the test, but dropped quickly afterwards!😉

[@ediebehnke2059]

Why so slow?

Id be tired after the first minute
