A: There are hormones that are increased during stress that are measurable, such as cortisol. The hormone is very important for the body to handle acute stress.

heart defribbed in stress test, side effects?

Q: I had a stress test, where they add IV to make your vessles larger (hurt foot, so not on treadmill.) and the person told me to tap my foot, I looked at the monitor lines and all but one (from where I was ) was flat and the other was jiggly, after the 3rd time they told me, I came to myself and tapped foot and the lines started again. The 2nd said, “well, you didn’t like that much did you, not much at all.” (I had just previously told them I do not deal well with drugs.)Does this happen much? Do I need to watch for any signs? Ect?While getting the IV to make the vessels expande, causing my BP to go down, I felt like in an elevator, so I closed my eyes and layed my head back, I felt it more and down in my chest, the teck said something (I am guessing it was “tap your foot”). I opened my eyes and the lines on the screen where pretty flat, except one was jiggly up and down, she said again to tap my toes, the flat lines contenued, then the guy said it, and I realized what they where saying (didn’t realize they actually wanted me to “Tap” my toes to get my heart moving), I did and the heart beat began moving in the heart beat lines again.

A: Not sure I understand your question. When you were doing a stress test on your heart you saw a fibrillation of your heart? Did you feel this or just see it on the monitor and was the report of your test looked at by a cardiologist? People have fibrillation all the time and normally you feel this as a “misbeat” of your heart and then it goes away. If you feel this “misbeat” and it continues it is most commonly known as an afib or Atrial Fibrillation which is a quiver or “misbeat” of the upper part of your heart. Can you provide more info to your question?
