129. I've had the stress test twice. Interesting but no big deal
Mon Nov 10, 2025, 11:26 AM
Nov 10

I’ve had that nuclear stress test twice. They’ll put some meds in you, hook you up to record data and then start the test. You’ll sit on an exam table. Part way through the first phase you’ll feel hot the a minute or so later the first phase is done. They’ll have you rest for a few minutes maybe have a soda and some snack like peanut butter crackers then they repeat the test with no meds. You’re done about five minutes later
