My mother is a cancer patient, also had bp, diabetes thyroid, and she is on Aspirin n Atorvastatin since Dec 2019 She is up for surgery, but needs cardiologist clearance first for that she undergone to TMT but couldn't complete it due to low physical activity/fitness. Now oncologist said to go for dobutamine stress test, just wanted to know if it is safe, And she is taking telma 40mg BD, amlodipine 5mg OD for BP, and for diabetes she is taking vildagliptin 50mg BD, metformin 500mg BD, glimiperide 2mg BD so before the test she can take sugar medicine but can she take BP medicine as well. I am in a doubt because while processing the test her bp will get high then it will be double dose for her, if she takes telma at home around 6am and test will be at 10am then again they will give her BP medicine What is the correct procedure to take BP medicine before n after test..plzz suggest
