I had to go do the treadmill test yesterday to determine if my occasional chest pains are from my heart. The test was to be between 6-12 mins. If you are unfamiliar with the treadmill test, they hook you up to the ekg and the blood pressure monitor while walking on a treadmill. Seems easy but every 2-3 mins, the speed increases as well as the incline. That last increase in speed and incline had me almost running! The dr comes in and asked what was the reason for the test. I told him my heart. He asks the tech how long did I walk and she said 11 mins 10 seconds. The dr turns around to look at me with a stunned look and gives me a high five. He said, your heart is working great. The tech said that people my age dont even last 5 mins! Didnt even break a sweat! Thats why this chick stays active and so should you!
