Nonetheless, to be on the safe side I was given a nuclear stress test - everything turned out just fine, my cardiologist said my
heart is perfectly normal. The only problem was the high
heart rate - when I went to get on the treadmill my heart rate jumped from 90 bpm to 145 bpm. This is definitely from the anxiety - I was terrified of the test and treadmills make me very uncomfortable. Moreover, at home my heart rate never makes a jump like that, it usually goes from 60 bpm to 80 bpm.
