Most often, a stress test includes an electrocardiogram to measure your heart's electrical activity as you exercise on a treadmill or on a stationary bicycle. Your doctor may also measure your blood oxygen level, blood pressure and heart rate. During the test, you will exercise for 10 to 15 minutes.
