Stressing Out

Went for an EKG and the first part of my cardiac stress test this morning. The EKG showed my heartbeat as normal and steady, so that was a relief. But I had to sign a waiver and everything for the treadmill part of the test which I'm getting Thursday afternoon. Considering all the risks I hope I did the right thing! I certainly don't want to induce a heart attack or anything, but it is a cardio center after all, they have doctors on staff and they know what they're doing and they assured me the risks are extremely low... and the cardiologist with whom I have an appointment next month won't even see me until I get his office the stress test results, so it's rather a Catch-22 situation.
