Breast pain after Myocardial Perfusion test?

Breast pain after Myocardial Perfusion test?

Is it possible to get breast pain after a mycardial perfusion test?  (Heart and breasts are okay for a middle aged person.)  Had an itchy red area on chest after scan. It may be due to exercise, but after the prickly feelings wore off a day after the scan, I got these unusual breast pains that I have never experienced before. Very scary.  I had a scan with radioactive iodine 3 months before. ( And the annual breast x-rays earlier in the year.)  Maybe I have been getting to much exposure?

Radiologists should have a clear record of all scans you have received, including standard x-rays. They will ensure you are not overloaded with radiation and keep you within accepted guidelines which are very safe. I had an angiogram two years ago, then two days later a CT scan. My cardiologist wouldn't even consent to me having an x-ray for a few months after.
