Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Ok folks, Here goes. I am headed to the Doctor today for him to assess if I need a stress test. If there is anything wrong with my heart, they may not do the transplant. I am very nervous today. (stress) Please keep me in your prayers. Oh by the way, My sister who wants to donate is having to do her 24 hour catch for the third time because of lab screw-ups and her internists office screw ups! Can you believe that!? The last time, they forgot to put her name on the accompaning blod test vile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Thank you . He said that I do need a stress test and I am scheduled for Monday. It is the Radiation imaging one where I don't actually walk on a tread mill. They even said that I could eat breakfast before going. Very interesting. I hope I get a passing grade. He did not like my EKG. He said that it showed a weakness in one of my bottom quadrants. I will know how I did next Thursday. Re: Here goes Hi , I'm praying for you today about the stress test!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 , There are 3 kinds of stress tests. One is the ordinary one where you walk fast on the treadmill, the second is the same, except they had nuclear imaging of the heart, and the third is for people who can't do the treadmill - they use an injection of something (Cardiolite) to get the heart rate up instead of exercise. I've had the first two a few times. Pierre Re: Here goes > > > Hi , > > I'm praying for you today about the stress test!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I'm hoping that things will go well for you. And hopefully, there will be no more muck-ups with your sister and her 24 hour urine collection. smustard wrote:Ok folks, Here goes.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Well the Medical Collage that is doing my transplant wants the third one that you listed. I don't know why. They were talking about that before I even had my EKG. Re: Here goes > > > Hi , > > I'm praying for you today about the stress test!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Thank you so much Jennie. I do think it is kind of funny about the 24 hour catch. Though it must be kind of monotonous for my sister. Her Dr. is 35 miles away from her, but she was determined to have a female Internist. Re: Here goes I'm hoping that things will go well for you.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I bet it would be a bit monotonous. I once had to restart a 24 hour urine collection because my period decided to turn up on me part of the way through it (it turned up early, so I wasn't expecting it), and I found it really annoying!! smustard wrote:Thank you so much Jennie.
