How can you fail a Stress Test?

I am going for a stress test tomorrow because the doctor thinks I have orthstatic intolerance. I was wondering if I would fail the stess test since my pulse goes from 80-130 just standing up. Will they stop it and fail you if it goes high really fast or will they keep you on there until you reach your target hr? I think mine is 196 (220-24(age)=196).Thanks!

As long as you are feeling okay, they will keep you walking (or running) until you reach your target heart rate. When someone "fails" a treadmill stress test, it is typically because of ischemic ECG changes or "malignant" arrythmias.

Good luck!
