STRESS TEST NOT SO BAD!!!!!!

TOOK MY FIRST STRESS TEST TODAY.  LOL    I have  been so stressed about the stress!!  lolol  With my lung disease and the degenerative arthritis in my spine,  I am only able to walk about 10 feet before I must sit down to relieve the pain and catch my breath.   I had recieved by mail some forms about the test and it said I should wear comfy clothes because I would be walking on the tread mill.....So when I get to the hosp I am thinking the worst.    Well, guess what????   NO TREADMILL!!   lol   My doc had let them know about my physical disabilities and so they did it the EASY?????? way.   lol    Gave me a drug to race my pulse.  Doctor was in the rooma t all times.  Normal pulse is 60.  They had to get mine up to 138 and thenback to 88 before I could leave the room.  They said I may feel heart palpatations and some chest pain....I FELT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They did all kinds of EKG's...laying on my back, on my tummy sitting, standing.........all things I don't usually do,  BUT NO TREAD MILL so I was very happy.   The whole ordeal,  however,  took 4 hours!!!   It really wore me out.   The doc said he didn't know for sure, cause he hadn't looked at all the test results,  but from what he could see, he didn't think I have any blocked arteries....THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So I see my primary doc on Friday for the full report.  2  weeks ago she started me on a blood pressure pill & that is also why I had to do the stress test. ( Very high blood pressure).  Well since I hace been taking the new pill.........# 20 in each day....my BP has been great.  OK, better go, need to sleep after the stress of the stress.  lol

Grats! So happy the test wasn't the "Dreaded Treadmill" (echoing)...rofl. Super happy that things are looking so positive (at least concerning a potential blockage)!
