Your heart turned to stone when the doctor told you he was booking you for a cardiac stress test. Take it easy. It's a piece of cake. I did it, anybody can.
I will tell you all about the cardiac stress test your doctor has ordered. This simple, easy and painless procedure will expose any secrets that your heart may be hiding from you, possibly fatal ones.
You remember what the doctor said but, somehow, you are not reassured. Are they going to cut you open? Wouldn't it just be simpler for you to go home and cut down on the beer and pizza? What if something "shows up"?
You rarely hear of people suffering heart attacks in their sleep. Cardiac events usually occur when a person is walking, shoveling snow or exerting themselves somehow. Road rage also wreaks havoc on the heart as well as on the mind.
To properly assess your heart, it must be made to work a bit. This tells the whole story. This is why you often hear of people having heart attacks when they are doing something.
A reading of between 140/90 and 90/60 is considered normal. Any readings over those and your doctor will want to investigate further. Consider any concerns your doctor has as blessings. Many people don't find out till it's too late that there are problems. Remember, your blood pressure is only an indicator of your overall well-being.
Cardiac illness is not just for fat people, smokers or old folks. It is sneaky and can lay you out flat in no time with no warning. Blood pressure of between 90/60 and 140/90 is considered normal and any time yours falls outside that guideline, have yourself checked out right away.
Sometimes your arterial system may be on the verge of a major breakdown and there is no way of finding out without stressing the system a bit. This is what the cardiac stress test does. It's like your mechanic taking your car for a test drive to confirm what you told him the problem was. The test is painless. There is not much to it and the technicians are not sadists. They are there to help you work your body a bit so that any shortfalls will become apparent.
Unlike a broken bone, heart problems can hide right near the surface of your life and you could be totally unaware of it. Using the cardiac stress test, kind, well trained technicians put your body through its paces a bit so that any problems will stick out like a sore thumb. Don't worry, they are not going to make you run the Iron Man contest.
Whatever is scaring you, whether it is the sight of you puffing a bit on the machine or that scar on your back, the technicians have seen it all before. Go there relaxed and confident if you can. You might even find the experience enjoyable!
They will connect you painlessly to some equipment as you walk slowly on a walking machine. They will watch closely how your body reacts to the stress of some mild exercise. Their machines will show exactly what is happening in your body. At the first sign of a problem, the machine is turned off and you are closely monitored to make sure you are okay.
If your cardiac stress test reveals any problems, you and your doctor can work out an action plan, whether it involves medication, finding ways to relieve stress in your life, surgery, change of lifestyle or whatever. Your medical professional will suggest some treatments like prescribing stop smoking aids if you smoke. Smoking does raise your blood pressure. Make sure your doctor knows where you can get self help for anxiety, also.
Consider your cardiac stress test a blessing, whether it finds anything or not. It's one of those "pay me now or pay me later" scenarios. Either way you win.
