Stage 2 stress test heart rate was at 170 so stopped was to tired.doc says may need loop recorder and get fit to improve symptoms.

More tests needed: 170 is a very accelerated heart rate at that level of stress. You may an inappropriate sinus tachycardia or another type of arrhythmia. The stress test should help sort that out. An echocardiogram and cardiology evaluation would be appropriate. Good luck. Feel better.
