An EKG, echo, rhythm monitor, artery study, and exercise test ask different questions. Knowing which question was answered helps you understand what reassuring really means.
Why do stairs feel different—and what should I track?
Are stairs harder? Do you need longer to recover? Changes in walking, carrying, or other familiar activities belong in your heart story too. They do not diagnose heart disease.
