No, it wasn't a fun experience, yes, it took awhile, although not as long as it would have taken had my heartrate been normal to begin with, but like Sal mentioned, it's better than having a heart attack. And if I am going to have a heart attack, what better place to have it than in the hospital on a treadmill?
