An Exercise Stress Test monitors your heart rhythm during exercise on a treadmill.
Although it is more commonly used to investigate chest pain, coronary disease and shortness of breath, this can be used to induce an abnormal heart rhythm in patients with exercise-induced palpitations.
The test takes about 20-30 minutes.
It is advisable to avoid a heavy meal prior to the test and to wear comfortable clothing and running shoes for the test.
