Has anyone done a EKG Stress Test? Is it as awful as I imagine?
I'm scheduled for one later this week, and since there's been no discussion of the drug method, I assume I'll be put on a treadmill or bicycle and encouraged to knock myself out until my heart explodes....

@BenA um...not that bad...you walk on the treadmill to reach a chosen heart rate about 10-15 minutes
Now a guy in my running group failed nearly immediately and was asked to stop right when "he was hitting his sweet spot" because he was having a heart attack.
My Dad passed the stress test came home worked in the garage was feeling tightness in his chest called his cardiologist and that scheduled a different test.
