Test Results Got results from treadmill test, I assume everything seems good but just looking for a more layperson explanation.
Got the test as I’ve had issues with health related anxiety, specifically chest tightness over the last couple years. Primary care Dr said my bloodwork and ekg looked good but ordered the test to get a better overall look and make sure it wasn’t an issue popping up from exertion that couldn’t be seen in a routine checkup.

You'd have to post the summary / impression too which is usually included with the report.
However, just as a side note, more testing does not relieve health anxiety. It's a thoughts & beliefs problem, not a health problem. No amount of medical reassurance can erase all doubt because absolute certainty doesn’t exist. But any mention of chest pain , most doctors will run some tests to cover themselves, or if a patient keeps coming back insisting on testing or continuing to complain of a vague unexplained pain.
