Question : I have a treadmill stress test tomorrow. I am not supposed to take my beta blocker blood pressure medicine for 24 hours before, but can I take my clonzapam to lower anxiety and blood pressure without adversely effecting the stress test results?

Brief Answer:
please see below.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
Clonazepam is not prohibited before stress testing. This does not effect stress test adversly. However you need to take a prescription of this drug from your local physician. This drug should not be taken without prescription. Internet based consultations are for guidance only and not a substitute for real prescription.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
