Eight months after my attack I am back at the hospital for a "test d'effort" as the French say. In other words, I have been wired up and put on a treadmill.
It was interesting as my pulse rate was slow to rise and in the end only got to 138 bpm and just for a short while. My Blood pressure eventually rose to 140/80 by the time the test was stopped after 15 miutes.
When we did stop it was due to my leg muscles just not having any more strength while running on this machine.
Next time I do this (in next October says the Doc) I should stop the beta blockers two days before the test.
So I am FINE ..... and how are you doing?
