Cardiac stress test came out normal

I had the kind where they shoot you up with a vasodilator, since I couldn't manage the treadmill.
Worst part - not being able to have a cup of tea until this afternoon.

Didn't the vasodilator make your heart race? I've considered one but have been hesitant as I'm sensitive to a lot of meds.

You couldn't drink afterwards?

The vasodilator wasn't bad, just felt weird.

They want you to drink water before and during the test. But no caffeine for 24 hours prior.

Yikes. That's a tough one. That means no chocolate, too...

Thx for explaining!
