Checked the automated system and found out that I am scheduled for a stress test, (my first).
The doc decided after I had complained of chest pains and they did an EKG on me at the clinic that I might have Plurasey.
So after xrays and no plurasey scheduled me for PFT 72 before treatment and only picked up 18 after treatment.
Learned that the first visit in late April heart rate only 56. Not bad for a 30 year old athlete but for a fifty eight old fat man?
Then June 25 at next appointment the nurse took my blood pressure and said it was high. I asked what my heart rate was and she told me 53- she changed cuffs took my blood pressure again and said it was better, asked again what my heart rate was and she said 49 hot dogs.
So doc says I need a STRESS TEST. Since bothlegs and feet are messed up he said they would do a chenical stress.
Like I said only 4 weeks and 1 days to get a stress test.
What to expect never done or seen one done. Am going to Truman in Columbia MO. Have been told they do a lot of heart work there and that they were pretty good.
