I hope you passed or do you know yet. Sorry it was so bad. I had a heart stress test a number of years ago. I made the mistake of saying that I felt as if some was sitting on my chest and I could not breath. All the red flags for the test. Stress will kill you!!! I left my stressful job and the money and have been poor and happy ever after. Kay

Hi I had one last year. I have bad knees so the had to inject drugs to make my heart race while I laid on the table. Felt so wierd to have my heart race so hard. Then I took time to do the xrays. Then another drug to slow the heart down and more xrays. It took so long to do. I was sort of woozy for the rest of the day. Least I did not have to run on the tread mill thank god!

I had one a few years ago. After getting off that treadmill and the injections it was about all I could do to make it to the bathroom before I threw up. And then lying on that "ironing board" of a table - I sure don't want another one of those at all. Hopefully I no longer have the stress that was causing the pain in my chest! Good luck with your results.

Been there and done that. Not much fun when you have a problem to start with and if you don't you may afterwards.
LOL. Hope it turned out OK for you. Judy

before and after, they will take pictures of your heart and arteries give the "infusion" that will make you feel so sick, that only take 4 minutes, but oh boy, they feel like never ending***
