Cardiac Stress Test
Today Mom had a cardiac stress test. First they did the test ... then they gave her medications to make her heart think she was exercising and then they did the test again. The total test took about 4 hours but she had an hour break in the middle. We worried that her heart would start racing and that she would be short of breath ... but that did not happen. She only had a headache and some tightness in her throat for 6 minutes. The stress part of the test only takes 6 minutes. She did great with no issues now we just have to wait for the results.
