ECG Stress Test

Date:
in: General

So my doctors thinks there is something wrong with my heart as I am constantly getting chest pains. So, tomorrow afternoon I am being sent to have an ECG Stress Test … I am nervous, I am scared as to what the results will show. I am also worried I won’t get through it as I have to walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Like I have enough trouble walking short distances due to my foot/leg right now.

I do know that I am going to have to take a dose of all my pain killers at least 40 minutes prior to the appt. if I am to have any hope of getting through it. The other stressful thing is the results. The last thing I need right now is another health problem, I have so many and just recently found out about another one. So I don’t need more.

I really just want to cancel the appt. and not go. I know I need to go, but maybe I could make it for another time. I am thinking having it tomorrow is way too soon for me right now. Oh well, I will see how I am about this in the morning. But really I only have until 9.30am to really make a decision if I am going to go or not.

But I will still be nervous and scared about doing this, no matter the outcome …
