What happens if they do a ekg and it comes back ok and they set you up do a stress test later and they said you failed the test. how come ekg test said it was ok ?

Reason for stress ts: When you exercise, your heart must work harder and pump faster. It requires a richer blood supply. At rest, you may be fine and your EKG may be normal. With exercise, your heart may be having trouble and your test may turn abnormal. That's the idea behind a stress test and that's why they're done.
