Nuclear stress test

I have a non exercise nuclear stress test scheduled for 7:30 in the morning. I accidently drank a full glass of caffiene tea at 4pm today. What will this do to my test? Help!  I feel stupid and scared.

Iv taken a few Nuclear stress tests - in the past I can remember you cant eat anything
or drink but water - I was also taken off my meds for 24 hrs before the test .

It might be good to call the appointment center or doctors office and tell them -
if im not too late at this !  pretty sure it will mess up your test. though some scan tests
you can eat peanut butter ?  guess it makes the dye show up better in the vains ?

I never liked these tests !   as dyes in vains - so on..  

hope that helped , if not I was too late with this .. sorry about that   boogernose

i had one last year a week before i had it i stressed myself out, i didnt eat good i had anxiety over it i even ran on my treadmill to see if i could get my heart rate up where they needed it. i hate dye in viens so i really stressed my self out.  went in that morning to have it my bp was so high they could not let me run. had to have the shot.  that was a very easy test, its funny how we stress ourself out over a test thats nothing . but i know how ya feel i did same thing was so scared of it. but i ended up feeling so silly after it was started because it was so easy and nothing to it.   hang in there its not so bad, the worse part is knowing you have to do it .
