He needs at the least a full work up with blood work and EKG and an ech stress test, I really dont understand why anyone would come here with chest pain symptoms and look for an answer...
So if we say " yes its stress" and he has a heart attack.....order a stress test ASAPView Thread

I feel withthe amt and type of exercise I do everyday thats a good stress test, doc ?View Thread

My cardio said he will probably have me do another stress test this year. I know these are nice money makers and I dont mind the echo stress tests but do NOT want the tracer from the nuclear.
So...is the echo as reliable as the nuclear post stent ?
Can I tell the Dr I would rather not have one unless im having problems ?View Thread


all good since, run or bike everyday, eat good HDL=102,LDL=70, Try's=49
weight is 147 5'9"
Had a follow up echo stress test in April and a nuclear a year ago.
Now will I have to have a stress test every year ?? I know there is good money to be made doing these tests but if its not nessasary if I have no symptoms then ???
Also which stress test is better ?? I dont mind the echo but do NOT want to keep getting the tracer put inot me no matter how safe they CLAIM it is....
WHats the REAL scoopView Thread

My brother had 3 stents then triple bypass now chest pains again and they think something is plugging up with him so they put him back on plavix and upped the bp meds, same thing he doesnt exersise or eat right.
Now I exercise EVERYDAY, run 3-4 miles a day or bike 20-30 a day, also weights and floor exersises and I eat very good. I also dropped 47 pounds and have kept it off and my blood work is great ! But...when I hear stuff like this I wonder how long before it me....sure hope im doing the right thing and will increase my chances of not having any more issues...View Thread
