Stress Testing: What to Expect

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

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!!

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!

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

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!

I have one on June 8 , right now I’m shitting in my pant , I read someone died during one of this shit 😢

Why would you have to have your shirt off?

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

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

My cardiologist ordered one but told me to continue my beta blockers 😢 I wonder why

Whole food plant based fixes your cholesterol.

Excellent, I am having stress today.

Thanks for the information ,

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!

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).

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

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.

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

Awesome video! Very informative 👏 👌 thank you Doctor!!

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

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

Awesome

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

Thank you, Dr 🙏🏻

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.

Hello a pleasant good morning

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

Are stress test danger

Great job👍🏽

Sturnum pain 2 days later from the dam treadmill lol. I am short and the things bar is too high.

I have a nuclear stress test this month. It's my first time and I'm terrified the medication will give me a heart attack.

i really enjoyed this Good job dr👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
