Can I vape before a Stress EchoCardioGram?

[Doffy]

I have a stress EchoCardioGram on next Friday. The leaflet and website say avoid smoking and tobacco for 2 hours prior

Just wondering if I can vape still? Or maybe even vape some zero nicotine, since my regular 50mg @ 50 watts might nudge whatever it is that they want to test upward

Also have a 24 hour holter monitor Monday. But that says no preparation required

I wouldn't vape two hours prior to the ECG. The accuracy of the reading is based on regular heart rhythm and nicotine will increase BP and heart rate, if even so slightly.
