Nuclear Cardiac Stress Test

[donreid]

Had it done today. A little flushed and out of breath for about a minute when they gave me the vasodilator, but fine otherwise. Please don't be scared! 🙂

This test saved my life I had quadruple bypass surgery due to it, I am home now recovering after about 1.5 months after surgery. It's slow going but I'll be better eventually.

Im having this today, and this was a great video. I've had one years before. Thanks to the techs for making this.

I had this done February 26, 2024. And the outcome was good 👍😊 and it shows that my ejection fraction are normal.

No Ty! I’d flip out. That injection made me feel like I was about to go into cardiac arrest.

ty for this vid, I took a stress test like 25 years ago, and they made that treadmill go up to crazy fast speeds to the point I had to ask them to stop my ankles were hurting a lot, but I did pass the test. I am so happy they have apparently changed everything to make it a lot safer and easier ty you all so much for what you do.

Thank you for this video. It really helps ease my fears of having this procedure done.

I just had this done to me today, and because it was foreign to me I got scared, but I only felt pressure as if they were filling your body up with something, like in the Matrix and you thought you were drawning and pulling you in different directions. At one point they did ask me if I wanted to call the Ambulance and I said no is not that bad, is pressure, slight headache, dizzy and at the end, you can taste the metal. It wasn't an awful experience at all, but it wasn't roses either, but no pain at all!

Thanks, Christopher Lloyd for being the "patient." I trust only saline was injected. Great to see a guy working in the Mother-Baby Unit. (My husband and I are RNs.)

Just had mine my only problem was finding a vein got it on the second try had a slight headache everything went well thanks to the staff at Beaumont cardiovascular center in Berkley Michigan

[jamesblevins]

I did this yesterday. I was a bit anxious but once we got past the IV it was fairly easy. I did not want the medication because I've got angina so I did the treadmill for 15 minutes. Never had any chest pains during. Most of mine occur when I'm at rest...

I have COPD and have to have a nuclear stress test this coming Tuesday to clear me for a non cardiac surgery. I'm terrified about not catching my breath.

Thanks for sharing. I am learning this process at work and having this detailed video was great for furthering my understanding.

I though i was having an Heart Attack but the secret is to just keep breathing normal or as normal you can

[patrickt]

Thank you for the information. I am going to have this test tomorrow. This helps.

The last time I did this test they had me run like a gazelle

[marciabarnes]

I'm kinda scared my doctor want me to take this test..I don't think this is safe 4 me pushing the heart rate up.

[sallyking]

I’m claustrophobic and I’m not to concerned about the injections but laying under the image machine is making me panic. I have asked the doctor for a sedative so that I can complete the test. If I can’t get a sedative then I might as well say I can’t do it. Hopefully I can be accommodated.

I have CHF/Afib. Getting this test done next week. Wish me luck 💪🏽

Horrid headache after wards, really felt terrible, after the chemical induced stress drug
