Good Test Bad Result


  That's not me but I did the cardiac stress test on Wednesday. I passed the physical part e.g. walking level under load walking up hill at two different inclines all under load. My legs were tiring around the eight minute mark however my breathing was normal with no chest pain and no dizziness the test lasted 9.5 minutes BUT the printout of the graph taken of the heart's rhythm showed up something not good.As a result I have been given an appointment at an out of town clinic for a MIBI test with Persantine.
    The cardio stress test is 70 % accurate detecting problems the MIBI test is 90- 95% accurate.
    All I want is a fix for the problem if there is one if not  I have put my affairs in order.

  I know all this might be personal  but I feel much better writing about it.
