Y husbamd is scheduled next week for a stress test becuse of shoetnes of breath its worst should he wait hes on bp meds also for high vlood pressure?

Don't wait : He should go for his scheduled stress test. It is ok to take most of his BP medications except perhaps a beta blocker on the morning of the test. You must talk to the cardiologist about his medications.
