Stress Test

The Stress Test went very well today. This was done just to make sure everything OK from when had drop in blood pressure along with the dizziness/nausea I've been experiencing. I actually had to run to get my HR up where he wanted it (which they said was unusual). The doctor said, "you're healthier than 98% of the people we see". After hitting my max number (90% HR) the doctor was looking for I had to immediately lay on the table so tech could do ultrasound of my heart (they'd done one prior to test). While he was doing the ultrasound a nurse was taking my blood pressure. With in 15 seconds of hitting my max HR, my blood pressure had already recovered to 114/70. When the nurse called it out the tech exclaimed, "WHAT?!", she yelled back "I know! I did it twice - he's already recovered" The nurse said she'd never had anyone recover that fast and the tech said it'd been a LONG time since he'd seen it. All good news for me. Bring on the hills - BRING ON IRONMAN LOUISVILLE!!!!
