Medical Check

I had my annual medical check today. Collected urine, stool, blood sample, check weight, BMI, blood pressure, chest x-ray etc. And then, it is the breathing test. Ok, I pass. Then, it is the treadmill ECG. This is my fourth time of taking treadmill ECG. Remember that in the first time back in 2000?, I was in such a bad shape and I hit my max HR while still at walking speed on the treadmill and almost faint! That was one of the underlying reason I take up running/brisk walk.

As usual, electrode all over the chest. My resting heartrate while resting on the chair is 46! Two year ago, the test stop at 1 minute22s into stage 4 when I hit my 179 on heartrate. Today, I completed stage 4 at round 165 heartrate though the nurse is not giving me stage 5. But looking at the heartrate, I was in better shape last year with 145 heartrate at stage 4.
