If you are: "de-conditioned" (not used to exercise) your pulse will rise quite quickly when you are exercising and going for a walk is an acceptable form of exercise for a beginner...Follow you Health Professional''s advice and EXERCISE... Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Stress test.: Given your screening-type tests in the ED were unrevealing, you may now need to take it a little further. As far as the heart is concerned, a stress test would be the next diagnostic test. Then maybe a Holter monitor or event recorder.
