Hi Everyone. I had a "chemical" cardiology stress test yesterday. I was pretty nervous, as I have been a smoker for soo long, I am also a 5 yr stroke survivor.
The EKG was fine... very good... and this am I received the results from the Nuclear scan (for blood flow) and it was VERY GOOD..
This tests takes about 3 hoours... most of it is waiting. injection, wait, 20 min scan... eat and wait an hour then treadmill or chemical stress if you cant do the treadmill, then about 30 min wait and another 20 min scan.
One lady was "complaining" about all the waiting.. She said well I hope this is worth it, I hope they find something.... Another man and I looked at each other... and I spoke up and said.. Well.... I am hoping they don't find anything wrong, the man piped in and said, that's my thought too.
maybe the lady had been having pain or symptoms,... and was just hoping to finally get a diagnosis... but I was sitting there a bit "frightened" that something would be wrong... I am so Happy that the EKG and blood flow is normal...

Yeah.......
