I had alot of worry naturally . I thought I was having a heart problem which turned out to be acid reflux which hurt like hell .
I did'nt know what to expect , they called me the day before the test and told me where to go . First they inserted a fine needle and a tiny tube and injected a small amount of radioactive dye . Then I had to wait for this to get into the blood . Then they hooked me up to a bunch of sensors with suction cups and connected this to a box strapped around my waste , then the theadmill and I have never used one before . The entire time you are on the mill one fellow monitors you heart and the other runs the mill , this is to get you to your target heart rate and no more , this took me a while and if I missed the timeframe they would need to begin again , they had it elevated quite a bit and he asked I need to speed it up and I said go for it , then they inject more dye then you wait 2 hours , I was allowed to go out and then come back and they leave just a few cups on certain spots . Then they put you in a machine just up to your neck and this takes photo's of your heart .
It sounds like alot but it was really nothing and like I said I am not one to go to doctors for tests but this was needed . i thought I would never make the treadmill but it was somehow not bad at all .
