Hi All,

Did anyone have to do a stress test prior to surgery? If so, how'd it go?

I haven't taken one but my mom said it's a horrible feeling on the heart.

surgery date 12/3/12 with Dr Goreki NY

I had nuclear stress test for my cardiology clearance.

if you have just stress test you would be asked to go on treadmill and they will monitor your heart. with increasing speed on the treadmill.

If it is nuclear as I have they will do the shot of isotops and would take the pictures of your heart before exercise and another shot during and picture after.

Had my stress Test.... Nuclear though.... Had a sprained mcl at the time do no treadmill for me! When the doc injected the radio isotope I immediately felt a rush ... Got very dizzy and massive headache!!! I was watching the monitors and my heart was not racing but I felt it more in my head!! He then gave me the antedote and told me it was a common reaction!!! It just felt weird... Like borderline passing out weird!!!! That's y the Dr is in the room when they inject the isotope!!!!! They kept asking how I felt and immediately I told them and the antedote worked IMEDIATELY and I was back to normal!!!
