When you jog on the treadmill, the technician will assess your blood pressure and ECG and how you are experiencing it. The test will finish when you are weary, or the ECG displays irregularities.
After 4 minutes of rest, your blood pressure and ECG will be taken again.
The technician will detach the electrodes one at a time, gently wiping away any remaining gel on your chest.
Some patients may develop an irregular heartbeat, breathing difficulties, or dizziness, which will disappear after a while.
Following the procedure, the technician will offer the result within 15 minutes.
