Sorta it's where they inject a radiation dye into you take pictures of your heart and arteries at rest then inject.you with a medicine that will make you feel as though you excerzied and then more dye and then more pictures. But I want to know if anyone's had one and what there side effects where.

The stress test should be monitored by a cardiologist, physiologist and continuous ecg is done.
Take care.

They are trying to mae yu understand the serious implications of the test.
Personally I would really consider the reasons for these tests, the implications can be far reaching in my eyes.
Sometimes we need to consider if the negative effects outweigh the positive, when yo suffer from Anxiety.
Will these tests make you feel more a peace with your Anxiety or will you keep pushing for more and more complex tests and treatments.
If you do have a real health problem associated with your heart fair enough ?
However I am no GP or Heart Specialist, take advice and act on their recommendations

If you have a Chronic/Acute Heart Condition you take advice from your Specialist, or GP. Was reading your earlier posts you seem to be showing Anxiety, concerns. caused by your condition.

I am unsure what was injected but you just feel some discomfort but it is not life threatening as everything is very closely monitored and controlled. Don't worry. Just get the test done I say!!

All I can really say is try not to worry, sometimes I feel the same with needles, I suppose it does get better as we get older, however you are still very young. Sometimes I also wish I could send someone else to attend for me, my Wife thinks I am crazy, I will need to develop an alter ego to go into hospital in my place

Do you know the name of the drug that you had the bad reaction to?
If so please tell the dr or the physiologist and then they will avoid giving it you. If you send the dr an e mail they can look through your notes because the reaction should have been recorded and highlighted. You are not paranoid to be concerned, you are being sensible in raising an important issue. Please get in touch with the GP and tell him/her or at least con tact the hospital so it can be entered onto your notes. These things are common occurrences and the hospital will ensure you are not given that painkiller ever again.
