This post is inspired by the post from myklj999 who is going for stress test tomorrow as per his recent post. I underwent a stress test last year and thought of sharing with you the circumstances under which this test had to be done, as it is very interesting.
I am prone to panic attack which is mostly based on fake beliefs like fear of heart attack or something similar. Last year I had to visit the hospital twice in one week thinking that I have got an heart attack. On reaching hospital they will check blood pressure and find that the pressure is low, they will immediately perform the ECG and find out that everything is normal. Blood pressure also come out normal when taken again. This happened twice in one week then my doctor, who incidentally is my very good friend, said that we shall confirm your doubts by undertaking stress test. It was performed in 2 days time and doctor declared that there is nothing wrong with your heart only body is unfit. You have to improve your fitness and advised me to take a brisk walk regularly as walking is the best cardio vascular exercise. From that time onwards my regular walking started.
Have you experienced such fake panic attack any time?

ECG is confirmation of heart problem but many times it is proved that we can't solely depend on that test. It gives the condition of the heart at that particular time. While you can't ignore the pain of whatever sort near your heart, it is also not good to worry about it all the times.

That's good that you have been thoroughly checked. I hope the attacks do not return. They must be very worrying.

I'm glad you're better now, I haven't experienced anything similar yet, but these last few months have been very stressful.
