I’m scheduled to do a cardio stress test and I’m wondering how long it usually takes, what kind of exercises it consists of, how strenuous it is…etc. I’m really nervous about it and I don’t know why, but I’m having second thoughts about going through with it now.
Stupid, I know. :( Can I wear sweatpants and a T-shirt while having it done or do they put you in one of those stupid gowns? lol

I just had one on Thursday. They say to arrive at the heart lab about a half n hour early. then another 15 minutes to set you up with the wires. Then your on the treadmill for 6 minutes. Next the cardiologist will review the test and then you dress up and go home.

**** update being a woman I had to take off my shirt, but I kept my pants. The gown was covered most of the time. They try to keep your body modetly covered up as much as they can. They are professionals so they are use to body parts.

You will do fine. There are two technicians and even a doctor in the room. Good Luck.
