A Stress Test evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion or medication, helping diagnose heart disease and assess heart function.

Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate exercise footwear, avoid heavy meals before the test, and inform your healthcare provider about any medications.

You will exercise on a treadmill or bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. If you are unable to exercise, medication may be used to simulate exercise.

The test is generally safe, but it may cause temporary symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath. Inform your healthcare provider of any concerns before the test.

Results are usually available within a day or two. A preliminary assessment may be provided immediately after the test, with a detailed report following shortly.

Recovery times vary but are generally shorter than traditional surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to weeks.

Geriatric care focuses on the health and well-being of elderly patients, addressing their unique medical and lifestyle needs.

Services include routine check-ups, chronic disease management, medication management, mental health support, and physical therapy.

Elderly individuals experiencing age-related health issues or those needing comprehensive care for chronic conditions should consider geriatric care.

Look for providers with specialised training in geriatrics, experience with elderly patients, and a comprehensive approach to care.

Benefits include improved quality of life, better management of chronic conditions, preventive care, and support for mental and emotional health.
