I need a Stress test?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever had one?

I know what's involved for a straa test but my primary doc want me to have one before my lap band.

I have an abnormal EKG since forever due to open heart surgury when I was a kid (6). Repair valve but doc want stress test anyway. boo hoo!!!!

I guess it's better to do it just in case I code on the table.lol

Whatever it takes for a healthy surgery, Chicagoboy! I had an EKG, but no stress test. With your history, better to get that done. Ain't nuthin but a thang! (isn't that a song from the 80's or something? Where did that come from? I never say that?!)

I have heard of patients having stress tests before surgery. my friend had one prior to her gastric bypass too. i think its just to make sure that your heart can handle the surgery. i was afraid i would have to have one too, but when i consulted with my cardiologist, there was no need. i have had a murmer in my heart for a long time, but now its gone... you get on a tread mill and they hook you up to monitors...they will watch your blood pressure and your breathing. They monitor how much stress is put on your heart and respiratory system during different speeds on the tread mill. You are completely safe during this test. If you have any pain or you can't breath or your heart rate is abnormal they will stop the treadmill. I hope this has been helpful!

AS OF TODAY!! ONE WEEK TILL SURGERY WAAAHOOOO!

I had to have an EKG, plus a Nucular stess test. Cardio doctor wanted me to do a stress test, but being I was short of breathe all the time, he just gave me the nucular test....It wasn't fun, but over in no time....

Dr. Kwon coundnt figure out why the nuke test, since I had no pryor heart problems.

Go Figure...

I had to have the stress test done. The only thing I didnt like was running on that darn treadmill but really the test is nothing. They inject you with this solution and then you wait a while, then they take some pictures, run you on the treadmill and then take more pictures. You usually come back for the results.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
