Hi,
I've had HA (Mainly to do with my heart) and panic attacks for the last 10 months. I've had a lot of tests done, Echo, tons of ECGs, 24hour holter, bloods, etc. Every test has come back normal. However I used to go to the gym quite a bit and stopped for a while due to the HA. I have recently started to go back but I always hold back while I'm there. I keep thinking if I work out to the max that my heart will stop or something stupid like that. I was feeling a bit lightheaded today during my workout but I think that was due to anxiety, I kept monitoring my heart rate and worrying. :unsure:
Do you think a stress test would be beneficial to me, if only to put my mind at rest. Or do you think it's pointless due to the tests that I've had already. Could a stress test show anything that the other tests wouldn't?
Thanks
