On Tuesday I went to my cardiologist's office to take a treadmill stress test, which is going to be explained to me this afternoon. It's been about three weeks since my OHS, and this is the first visit with the cardiologist since the surgery.
They wanted to get my heart rate up to 137 but I wasn't able to get it that high before I had to get off the treadmill. It occurred to me afterwords that I am taking Coreg (25 mg 2x daily) for HBP, and I am wondering if a heart rate of 137 would even have been achievable while taking a beta-blocker.
I'm going to mention this to the cardiologist this afternoon, but can anyone tell me if I should have skipped taking the Coreg before taking such a stress test?
