nuclear stress test
by falina1, Mar 13, 2008 11:26PM
My doctor wants me to have a nuclear stress test which calls for a radioactive dye to be injected.
The reason being that I have on going hypertension. I also have diabetes and am taking Glipizide.
I do not like the idea of the radioactive dye. I am not having any heart problems I have had a chest
x-ray and a echo-cardiogram which both showed no problems. Do you think the risk outweigh the benefits for this test? Thanks
