I have had the tread mill test and passed. I am still having all the symptoms. I have been told that the stress test is not 100% I have seen a cardiologist and they said that since I was not doing anything at the time of my symptoms, it's not my heart. My husband suffered a heart attack 2 years ago. He was not doing anything at all that day. I don't get it!!

I can tell you first hand that a treadmill test is not at all accurate. I had one during a heart attack and passed it. Also had blood tests, CT Scan, and EKG. I put no trust in those tests. I was having a heart attack when all these tests were run and they came up negative for heart attack. I had it for three days before my blood changed. I am talking such severe chest pain I couldn't hardly stand it. I suggest a heart catherization to be sure. I had to have 7 bypasses. Hope this helps
