How to prepare for Stress Test

Preparation for a 'stress test' depends heavily on the type of test. In medicine, this usually refers to a cardiac stress test (exercise ECG) or a hormone analysis (e.g., salivary or blood cortisol). The provided context does not contain specific preparation instructions. General advice: For a cardiac stress test, wear comfortable clothing, avoid heavy meals beforehand, and refrain from caffeine and nicotine. For a cortisol stress test (e.g., dexamethasone suppression test), fasting and medication pauses are often required. Since MyBody-X offers products like the Body-Balance Check (testosterone) but no direct stress test, the evidence here is unclear. Always consult your physician or the testing laboratory for binding preparation instructions. Self-tests without medical supervision can lead to misinterpretations. Evidence grade: unclear – no validated studies from the context.
