Three weeks ago I asked questions about the reasons for one and what to expect. Some responses were helpful but I really didn't get all the answers I was looking for. Do you know the differences in what a Nuclear stress test are getting that make it more advantageous than an echocardiogram?
I was also told how bad the test was. In my opinion, the test itself really was not a big deal. There was slight discomfort in inserting the needle, but I felt nothing from the injection itself. It took about three and a quarter hour from start to finish, but before they can take the initial pictures you have time to grap a bite to eat.
The beginning of Apheresis is probablymore uncomfortable than this injection, but I would still encourage people do Apheresis to help others rather than shy away from a slight discomfort. The same with this test. IF a doctor has a good reason (I still am not sure what my doctor's was) don't panic..it is a relatively easy test.
