The problem is that I have had issues in the past that occur above max HR/anaerobic and they didn't get anywhere near that despite my debriefing them of that situation. I believe I need to switch providers....  |
I too get some heart pain when going all out. I did a dress test a while back and they cut that early before I really got maxed out. But last year I did a stress echo and they let me go till I was about to pass out. They didn’t see anything which I guess is good and some peace of mind. I made sure that it was clear with my doctor and the stress echo team that there was only any point in it if I could max out. Luckily everyone was on board. That was in Umass in Worcester.
