Jet lag and stress test

I am scheduled to have a stress 36 hours after flying east across 10 time zones.  Will jet lag affect the stress test?

For general information, people flying across only one or two time zones may be able to adjust without noticeable effects of the time change. Those flying across three or more time zones will likely develop noticeable symptoms of jet lag.

If you have a heart disorder, consult your physician well in advance of your departure to plan a coping strategy that includes medication schedules and doctor's appointments, if necessary, in the destination time zone.
