After dozens of tests, thick goop, over-sized robes, bare breasts (mine), cold hands (theirs), treadmills, needles, sticky things on my chest (that remained for 24 hours), more than 4 hours in the doctor's office and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs, the conclusion is this:
I AM OUT OF SHAPE*.
*Almost positive but to be definitively confirmed with results of two future tests. For what its worth, I did express my embarrassment and humility, but with my pre-existing conditions, the heart doc validated my concerns and the necessity of the work up.
That is all.
