I have a Nuclear Stress test at 8am tomorrow. Nothing bad just a 50 year old check up...... Any of you have this before? It says it will take 3 hours....WTF they do for 3 hours?
-------------------------
My father has had one.. said it is not fun...
Wasn't to bad.. now waiting on doc to call me...lol
-------------------------
You get there and they inject a radioactive liquid in your arm....I was told "oh it's safe" as the nurse brought it out in a led box lol. Then you sit and wait 40 min......then you go into an open MRI machine for 20 min as they take pics of your heart....go and sit again 15 min....then the tread mill with all the wires attached to you ....had to get my heart rate up to 150... I was running toward the end lol .....the doctor administering the test said she has not seen anyone do this well on the machine in a while...she kept asking "are you ok?" lol. Total walk and run was only like 20 min lol. Then back to the heart MRI machine for pics after the tread mill....I also had an echo cardiogram after that and that took 30 min of just basically ultrsound of my heart...you know the cold jell and all.....
