Calcium Channel Blocker and Stress Test

Posted , 2 users are following.

Would taking a calcium channel blocker like Verapamil on the day of my stress test help me pass? In other words would it cause my results to show no abnormalities? 

Thanks

    Tell the doctors what drugs you're taking and they can try to figure it out, I guess.  It will certainly interfere one way or another.  Ask if you should maybe skip the dose, I don't know.
