Hi Nat, All I was told that I was having a treadmill stress test today. Mrs. J

Hi - I had a stresst test yesterday 4/28. I was hooked up with EKG Wires, blood pressure monitor and had to walk the treadmill for 6 minutes. The treadmill would incline and accelerate and the cardiologist kept talking and talking like I really wanted to have a conversation. I was sweating and out of breath and I wanted to ask him to please stop talking so much. It is not big deal really!
