Stress Testing: What to Expect

[@Dynysis]

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

[@robinhutchinson3985]

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

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!!

[@Sheratim]

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

[@LuisHernandez-pr7rj]

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!

[@KINGDOMFACTS]

This is the BEST VIDEO! Very informative and clear. You really helped me relax and not stress over this

[@yanibonnie3]

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

[@Irishinindia30]

I recently had a stress test. I'm a 44 year old smoker, relatively fit. I completed the stress test but it was marked as a positive due to some fluctuations. I was nervous about it at the time. Doc advised that I need to have a ct angiogram, which I've just recently had and all was fine, no blockages no calcium build-up. Just sharing because sometimes a false positive can occur during the treadmill test. Personally I believe my anxiety had a part to play in that.

[@SilverBullet888]

You only really need to watch this video it’s very informative and easy to understand great job 👏🏼👏🏼

[@LCARSx32]

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.

[@Sandra-ic7kc]

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

[@Collinormous]

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.

[@womanofgod7812]

Thank You So Very Much!!! This Video Was Exmemly Helpful & Informational!!! God Bless You All Abundantly💕

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!

[@milobunny2004]

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

[@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.

[@chaltubefekadu2676]

Thank you so much Dr. I really enjoy the video!!! It is helpful!!!

[@richricogranada9647]

You should have mentioned how the pts feel after the test, eg, dizziness, et…Do they need someone to drive them back home?

[@lamper2]

What do you make of the Stanford study suggesting a high blood pressure reading after a stress test actually indiicates you're more fit than others who don't. I tested high and I find it hard to believe it's good news?

[@abigailtavalkus3058]

Why would I experience NSVT during intimate activity with my bf but not during exercise or even during a stress test? My doctor doesn't even believe I have NSVT and says it's just stress but I get short runs of really fast forceful tachy (2-6 beats).

Stress test is very painful because they squeeze your arm attached to the blood pressure machine 7-8 tomes during the treadmill test. I was in excruciating pain during the 16 minutes the whole procedure took. I was not expecting such a large amount of Bp monitoring.about 3...not 7-8 that I received. A lot of pain on my left arm up to two full days later.

Had my echo stress test the other day and glad i never had any pain at all,the test went smooth.
