I just did this Yesterday. It was a tough doing the treadmill, but they didn't tell me to hold my breath afterward(maybe, I don't remember), she only told me to breathe in from my nose, and out through my mouth. I didn't get a gown either, I had to wow them with my physique. jk They wanted me to reach 100% on the monitor, by 78% I was pretty much done, but I pressed on and made it. If you have to do this, there is a reason, try to focus, and put your mind to it. They need the best possible results to help you, and rescheduling can be difficult. Good luck
@@markweatherall7437 Thats good news though i haven't taken it in many years. I remember the Nurse telling me that i would be hating her at the end of the test, yes updates in technology are amazing just as doing a 4X bypass heart surgery for me was amazing in 2002, fortunately i am still here at age 67, working FT, exercising, etc.
@@markweatherall7437 No i never was even on a treadmill before then, i had no reason to take that or any tests. however when i was in my 20's i was in incredible cardio shape as well as an iron pumper, i ran a 10K on a hilly course and finished 120th of about 600, 63 minutes and weighed 175 pounds at 5ft 8. In the mid 70's NOBODY talked of cholesterol or at least anyone i knew, looking back i did have a high fat diet. I might have had cholesterol of 250 or more and terrible HDL that took time to build up, at the Hospital it was about 215 and my 'ratio' was off. After being released i did lots of research and immediately changed my diet, i took my problem seriously and used to practice for the Bruce Protocol test, however here in NC they seem to do things differently that NY so i don't need to do the 'Bruce' test.
@@zxtenn Ok, I think there's a misconception/myth around diet because its stated by a coach that in order to loose weight we must cut back on carbohydrates/sugar. I've seen people obese and they've lost a ek of a lot of weight on low carbohydrates and higher protien/ high fat diets. Nobody knows what there cholesterol is like been on high fat low carbohydrates diet though. From a personal point of view I havn't had my cholesterol checked for over 20 years now. I remember it been 4.something what ever that meant back then, I didn't understand it. Just remember the GP/doctor saying it was about normal. Looks like I need to keep up on upto date knowledge on cholesterol ratio's/figures etc. Whats your suggestion and what figures are healthy etc? Thanks.
I am a medical student and I don't understand why there is discrimination that all heart echo models are men. They can also be done with an apron and bra without any problems. I hope to see your videos where women are also taken into consideration.
Might I suggest that you CREATE your own video using whomever you wish as your model. It is a voluntary thing for all parties and if it just so happens that men are more willing to volunteer, why should that bug you? I suggest you are looking for a problem that does not exist. Your left wing education is showing.
