Are there any adverse side affects to the meds used in the ‘induced exercise’ stress tests which could cause an irregular heartbeat?

Thank you.

we usually do not give medical advice, but I think in this case I can make an exemption. The headache you are feeling is probably a mild reaction of your body’s to the pharmaceutical, and it should clear up soon. If it does not go away by 2-3 days, consult your physician! Don’t be scared, though.

I came through with flying colors. But I have had a vicious headache for over 24 hours. I thought it was because I was getting a flu or something but then realized that maybe it was from the injection. If it is, how long will the symptoms last? I think it is easing up, but is still significant.

Our first advice would be for you to persuade your mother-in-law to go out. If possible and it really doesn’t mean her a big effort physically, you should start with simple walking outside. As she has lung disease as well, it is advisable anyway to stay outside because of fresh air. Walking can help a lot! Don’t forget to “train” gradually!
BUT as we don’t know what problems she has with her heart and lungs exactly, honestly we shall not give you sort of “tele”advices or rehab training programs. Your health care provider can help you find a program that matches your level of fitness and physical condition.
If you want your mother-in-law to do some homework anyway, you can find many exercise guidelines on internet – wherefrom you can choose the best one for her condition. DON’T forget to be gradual!
Apropos! Diet is very important also.
If you have any questions (maybe you want us to be more factual), feel free, we’ll try to answer.
András and Imre

He wants her to go to a clinic but she will not go out. Can you give me any information as to where we can get the information on paper so she can see the excersizes and do them at home with my wifes help?
Thanking you in advance: Ray Masters
