Nuclear Stress Test - Not accurate

@briarrose I agree with you . Also that nuclear test was so incredibly painful for me that I was devastated for a few days . Was painful for you ? when I tell other doctors how painful it was they look at me oddly as though it shouldn't have been. I honestly felt like I was going to die right there. nobody should have to go through that . however, the test came back showing no issues

@19281928 The test was for my 70 year old husband. His last stress testing was in 2018 so this test was very important. He did not report any pain. He can not do the treadmill, that he finds very uncomfortable, becomes very fatigue and then his anxiety kicks in - which results in very high blood pressure. Thus, the reason "why" the nuclear testing was done.
And speaking of doctors which you mentioned...when my husband told this particular cardiologist he feels like he is going to "die" on the treadmill the doc said to him "we do 1000s per year, no one dies, what makes you so special?" Wow!
Glad to hear your testing results showed no issues. The follow up echocardiogram was "normal" for my husband and, therefore, the cardiologist was satisfied. If I were him, I would be very annoyed...still can not figure this out.
Be well.
