I have AHCM and have been having increased symptoms the past few days. I hadn't thought about the dehydration factor. I tend to be chronically dehydrated, and I thank you for the reminder of how important it is to drink a lot of water every day. I am scheduled for a stress echo next week to look for any obstruction. Do you think being hydrated or not could affect the results of the test?

They should tell you what to do to prepare for the test. During the test they will have you do different things. Just follow thier instructions. I don't think the water will affect the test but just check with them first.
