have anyone had a stress test done before

just waiting on my stress test,I have been worrying alot dont knonw what to do  they move my sugery up to july 22

Hey girl you are in my prayers. The stress test will go fast so try not to worry. If itsw the same as the one I had to have a few years ago they just make u try to get ur heart rate up while walking on a treadmill. Try to see how long you can walk at a certain speed and watch what u heart rate does. I hope this helps u any....Sherri 

I had a stress test, too. Some doctors will do a drug-induced stress test if you have bad joints and can't do the treadmill. That's how I had mine ... I was coming off having my knee scoped, had problems with my feet and there was no way I could do the treadmill (still can't, actually ... still have a bad right knee). So what they do is give you this drug while you lie on the bed with all the sensors hooked up, they do an ultrasound of your heart and take other pictures and EKGs and stuff. The drug acts like exercise would. The only problem I had with it is it makes you really thirsty ... I went out to lunch after and drank about a pitcher of water at Red Lobster.

Good luck!
