Hi and thank you so much for this query.

it will probably be a chemical induced stress test because of COPD. They are doing this just as a check up I guess. I've never had any heart problems that I know of. I was VERY active in my youth but smoked the whole time hence the COPD. I should have clarified this in the first question
Thanks
Thanks
