(((((PTS)))))
I wish you well on your stress test!! 
I am a Critical Care/Cardiac Nurse. I have helped many people through these tests. Rainbowzz gave you a great link. I also wanted to give you just a few other tid-bits.
When they give you the medication to induce the workload on the heart, some people have said that they get a warm sensation throughout their bodies and they may start to sweat. Some have said they felt some mild nausea with anxiety.
These side effects pass rather quickly, but some say they are left with a general feeling of malaise for just a bit afterwards.
I want to let you know, as Rainbowzz did, that these nurses, techs, and Dr's are trained in advanced care and will have all the equipment and meds available to counteract any negative effect should one arise. These usually go well and don't typically take that long.
I think you'll do well, and I wish for the best results!!
Hang in there and keep us posted!!
