Failing that, it's probably wise to take it a bit easier until after you get the results from the stress test.

If you do end up with a positive stress test loads of terrific treatment options out there today. Some of the best developments for Angina/coronary artery disease treatment have come along in the last ten years.
I got a call this evening from the cardio. There has been a cancellation and they can do the test this Wednesday, assuming my insurance carrier approves the procedure. YAY....I am going to be nuked...hopefully.
