Undergone stress test at 25

All the long hours of work, topped with poor eating habit made me feel weaker everyday. I consulted my doctor and she made me take the stress test. The stress test is a series of activities done in a controlled environment to measure the body’s tolerance to (what else?) stress. I was asked to run on a treadmill on a slow to fast pace while an ECG and a spirometer is connected to monitor my breathing and heart rate. These kinds of tests are usually done on older patients but since my doctor is a friend of mine, she gave me special treatment. hehe.

Anyhow, it seems my stress level is at par with a 50 year old. Since I am still half that age, the results were obviously not good. I was advised to change my eating habits and try to get more rigorous exercise to increase my endurance. I already knew this from the beginning, I just wanted to hear it from an expert to oblige me to do something about it.
