Echo on the heart, then get on the treadmill with all the wires hooked up, then at the end, another echo of the heart understress. Everything was basically done in about 20 minutes.

I made it 11.7 minutes on the treadmill, but i didn't quit because of cardio. The thing was moving too fast for me to synch up my gate. (I've got MS) So i started to fall behind. When my arms couldn't reach the bar anymore i had them hit the stop button.

Fortunately, everything was good and it turned out to be a gastric upset that caused chest pain.
