I have a two day stress test next week and am afraid. Can I have a heart attack during the test? I have tremendous pain when I climb even two flights of stairs!
The stress test is closely monitored by a doctor and the tech. Your vitalVital-d signs will show any stress or you can call a halt to the test if you are unable to continue.
If you experience pain with very little exertion, the doctor may forgo the exertion and inject a medium into your vessels an observe reaction for diagnosis. You won't need to exert yourself.
