I have a stress test scheduled for tomorrow morning and I m concerned that I forgot that I was not supposed to have caffeine and had a cup of coffee. Do I need to cancel? They re expecting me at 8
Hello dear, Coffee contains caffeine which acts as a stimulant. So, there are chances that it may interfere with the interpretation of the results of stress test. Effects of caffeine reaches it's peak by 30-60 minute of consumption & then starts decreasing thereafter. So, it is better to have a gap of 24 hours. Kindly discuss regarding this with your treating doctor. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
