telling you IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I will just have to die...and die alot happier...That test is insane.

Years before I did the treadmill only stress test, and it's uncomfortable...but nothing NOTHING like the drug induced. I just found the paperwork. It is called Myocardial perfusion imagiing using the SPECT.

The imagine looks at the blood flow from your coronary arteries to your heart muscle. I wasn't afraid of it because my friend said her father drove himself to and from the test. But I assured her after I had that horrible thing that NO ONE drive themselves home.

I also believe there is another test used with a drug which you can drive yourself home.

They found nothing by the way...THEY NEVER DO.......
Hope none of you have to have it...it's yucky
