Medically induced stress test?

Are they safe? Has anyone had one?

I'm having surgery to remove stones & they gave me a EKG pretest to ck me out. They sent the report to my cardiologist. He said I had to have a medically induced stress test 1st before he would clear me for surgery. I've never had such & have had this same surgery 4 times, plus another to remove polyps.

It sounds like it could be dangerous. Stressing my heart w/chemicals. My pulse rate is 40 - 55 highest ever for yrs. You do imaging with stress. Then eat a big meal & imaging again. Strange test!

Could it cause ad?

Any info appreciated.
