Thanks

I had a stress test done. I also have superventricular tachycardia. And all males on my mother's side of the family have either died of a heart attack or nearly died of a heart attack.

I had one done six years ago because I was having palpitations but everything was normal and I haven't had any since so cardio cleared me without rerunning any tests.

I needed one because I have a fib.

It's a requirement of my surgeon. Just makes sure your heart is in good shape. It wasn't bad at all. Started with a sonogram, then they put on a heart monitor and did breathing tests,then breathing on a stationary bike,then breathing after.
