Hi all...
Ive got my stress test at 1:40 this aft. in Woonsocket.  I didnt sleep much last night and Im not sure why I'm so uneasy about this test.  Maybe because I know its a treadmill test and I cant walk far...I'm praying  my heart rate goes where its supposed to before my back gives out. wish me luck.

Hi..I am new here..
I have really bad arthritis in my hip and couldn't walk much at all.  They injected me with something
to get my heart rate up and let me sit for an hour or so, then put me on the machine to check
my heart.  Maybe you won't have to walk on the treadmill.
But if you do....I wish you luck!

I do not think it will be too bad... I was on it for 6 minutes,  If my heart rate rose faster it would have taken me less time.  It will be OK!

Well, I made it okay.  I didnt have any problems with my back like I thought I would. Only stayed walking for about 4 minutes or so.  My heart is fine..yay!
