Should I not drink the coffee if I am scheduled for a stress test?

I have a stress test scheduled for tomorrow morning and I m concerned that I forgot that I was not supposed to have caffeine and had a cup of coffee. Do I need to cancel? They re expecting me at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. Thank you! YYYY@YYYY

Hello dear,Coffee contains caffeine which acts as a stimulant.So, there are chances that it may interfere with the interpretation of the results of stress test.Effects of caffeine reaches its peak by 30-60 minute of consumption & then starts decreasing thereafter.So, it is better to have a gap of 24 hours.Kindly discuss regarding this with your treating doctor.Wishing you a good health.Take care.
