Hi - I'm scheduled next week for a cardiac adenozine stress test and echo - I have advancing cardio-myopathy and the docs are trying to figure out if its from autonomic PN - amyloid - or something else... Since I cant walk on the treadmill - the adenozine stimulates your heart with drugs as if you are exercising and from the info sheet I was given to prepare - does not sound pleasant (before PN I had heart rythm problems and had regular stress tests on treadmil - no problem) - but I do occasionally get severe attacks of tachycardia - even on my heart meds, and I have to stop them the day before.... the last thing I want is another trip to ER cause of heart complications... the test is critical though - I need GI tests etc and the docs wil not do them until I get cardiac clerance.....

Since I know many of you have problems walking and perhaps have had this - would appreciate any feedback

Thanks
