Hello everyone here I am struggling with bad thoughts about my heart <3 <3
I had an EKG last week and the cardiologist said everything is fine and I am pretty sure you will be fine and able to do surgery, But she is telling me now that I need to do an Eco and a Nuclear stress test. I am fine with the Eco cause I know is a requirement from the insurance company but why a nuclear stress test and not a regular one?? My copay is 250 dollars for a nuclear and 0 for a regular. Is not even about the money is about the fact that my understanding is that a nuclear stress is usually perform to people they think has a coronary decease. Please help me understand ... What's going on???
