Echo-Stress test

[Anxious4ever]

I have a stress test in a week or so and wanted to know a few questions if you guys don't mind.

I have read they use the Bruce protocol, is this correct?
Also I'm so confused about the grade% I want to see how I can do this same test at my gym but
I can not find each grade/incline difference.

Is the test pretty tough, how long did you last?

I like to try my own that way I won't be surprised and raise any anxiety when I have this test, this kinda crap
makes me nervous.

Good to hear.  If they saw anything glaringly wrong it would have been apparent so you will probably get good results.

So I had the test and they said everything looked good but final results will
be in tomorrow.
My blood pressure was way high, I was so SO nervous.
I finished the test with a 160 BPM, which was easy to achieve with the amount of anxiety I was having.

I'm still nervous about the "final results"

I did have a cardiologist in the room with me that looked over my echo and the EKG while I was that and he said everything looks good.

I would suspect they would.

Will they stop my stress test if I have a episode of SVT?

Deep breaths.  It is going to be fine and I suspect the results will show a healthy heart.  Hang in there.  Let us know how it went.

Well my Test is tomorrow and my anxiety is turned on full blast.

Like I said I'm not so much afraid of the test but I'm freaking out about waiting for the results....

I also had to stop taking my beta blocker for this test, I been taking it for about a week now 25mg toprol xl, will I have withdrawal and will my SVT come back with vengeance?

This $hit has been to much to take in all at once.... :(
