Stress out about stress test
Due to a high calcium CT score (613) my doc is sending me for a stress echo test. I'm 67 yo and getting stressed about the stress test.
Like many of us here, I ride 4-5000 miles a year, spend my vacation riding up mountains and wear a heart rate monitor. Sure, I am slower than 20 years ago, but no chest pain or limitations. Actually, I am enjoying cycling now more than ever.
So, bottom line, has anyone here been fit, totally asymptomatic and still "failed" a stress test?
P.S. Suddenly, my tinnitus and enlarged prostate don't bother me any more.
