Types of Stress Tests

• Pharmacological Stress Test: For patients who cannot exercise, medication (such as adenosine or dobutamine) is given through an IV to make the heart pump harder.
• Stress Echocardiogram: Combines exercise or medication with ultrasound pictures of the heart walls and valves before and after peak stress.
• Nuclear Stress Test: Uses a tiny amount of a radioactive tracer and a specialized camera to map blood flow to the heart muscle at rest and after stress.

What Happens During the Test

• Monitoring: Technicians place sticky sensors called electrodes on your chest to record an EKG/ECG (electrical activity), and attach a blood pressure cuff to your arm.
• Exertion: You exercise or receive the IV medication for about 10 to 15 minutes until you reach your target heart rate or develop symptoms.
• Cool Down: You walk slowly or rest while your vitals return to baseline

This stress test was scheduled for my kidney transplant checklist before my hospital stay. I’m still looking for a kidney .

Potassium is an Electrolyte
In your blood, tiny but precise amounts of dissolved potassium help your cells talk to each other. Potassium is an electrolyte. It helps carry electrical signals between your nerves and muscles, like your heart. Having the right amount of potassium in your blood is key to good health.

What Does Potassium Do for You?
You need potassium so your muscles (including your heart), kidneys, gut, and nerves will work well. When your kidneys don’t work as well as they should, potassium can build up to harmful levels in your blood. Having too much or too little potassium can stop your heart.

Too high! If your potassium level is above 5.1 mg/dL, there could be many reasons. In stage 3 CKD, the kidneys become less able remove potassium. Some types of blood pressure pills may also raise potassium levels. If your kidneys fail, it is all too easy to get too much potassium from food. If your level goes up slowly, you may not feel any different. If it goes up quickly, you may feel weak or tired. Be careful! VERY high levels of potassium can stop your heart. Talk to your doctor if your levels are high.

Cardiac Risk: High potassium prevents heart muscle cells from resetting properly after a beat, making the heart vulnerable to fatal rhythm disturbances.

My potassium level rose to 7. My heart was beating 134 per minute. I developed an infection called Cellulitis: A bacterial skin infection that causes redness, warmth, and swelling.
