Unlike the treadmill, you can't just stop if it gets too much because the drug is in your system and remains there for 15-30 minutes after the drip is removed. <BR/><BR/>The doctors and nurses who carried out the tests looked after me perfectly and did their best to be reassuring and calming but it was still scary and exhausting...Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-1649662223811163452007-07-13T17:58:00.000+01:002007-07-13T17:58:00.000+01:00Weird, I had a similar test this week (I'm going i...Weird, I had a similar test this week (I'm going in for surgery shortly), but it was different. The stress test in the US is still done on a treadmill. While I had to walk very fast (and uphill) for the last two minutes, I was only hyperventilating a little when it was all over.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the worst part of the whole test was the blood pressure cuff - they kept using the wrong size!<BR/><BR/>After a morning of tests, I went to see Sicko, where Michael Moore said pretty nice things about the NHS. But now...well, after reading about the way your test went, I'm beginning to wonder!Laurie Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886124993171547304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-60955636580301584082007-07-13T16:58:00.000+01:002007-07-13T16:58:00.000+01:00GILL - "Guaranteed?"

On balance, I'd definately for for the orgasm in the earthquake. The thing that worries me about the climbing and bungee-jumping option is what would happen if the ropes got messed up and you ended up falling off a rock face and then bouncing up and down indefinately. I'm sure it wouldn't dso your heart any good.Boll Weavilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858122220880954456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-81030805358488822102007-07-13T02:05:00.000+01:002007-07-13T02:05:00.000+01:00My next appointmnt at the cardiac unit -- sorry, '...My next appointmnt at the cardiac unit -- sorry, 'suite'!! -- is 28 November...
