A member asked:
Hello, i had an ekg done and the doctors had to stop the test because my blood pressure was at 224 and my heart rate was decreasing, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bp: I am guessing you were having an ekg stress test and if your BP goes too high it is good practice to stop the test the concern is that ab abrupt rise in BP can trigger a cardiac or neuro event.
