Holy shit. I've gotten into some bad stuff here and there in 56 years, but nothing comes close to the abyss of the chemical stress test. I honestly thought it was going to kill me.

I did the treadmill the time before that, and though I got great marks, left me panting with exhaustion for about 10 solid minutes afterwards. I thought the chemical stress test would be 'easier'...lol. No way. Treadmill for me from here on out.
