Thanks for allt the posts. I guess the best preparation is to go to the gym and shed some BMI.

Good luck to you all

Medical Examinations

Hello,

during the treadmill test, your are fully wired up for monitoring the ECG. The doc is on standby.

They try to step up your heart rate to about 160 or 180. Should some problem crop up before attaining those heart rates, the test is immediately aborted. Then you undergo deeper investigations like Echo Doppler, Angiogram etc.

One of the new airlines lost a good pilot a few months back. He was much junior to me and was a fit guy. He was some sort of a health freak and had bought a treadmill for normal exercising at home. There was no one to monitor him during his treadmilll. While on his daily treadmill routine at home, he collapsed and died. He would have over exercised past the danger point.
