Nuclear stress test

by Bev70, Jul 22, 2008 07:42PM
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
