stress relief images

m now 32+3 weeks and been so stressed because his dad promised to send some money for groceries for him ( he is on their food stamps and gets 674 dollars in disability) well no money has come and we have had to spend so much money on him and skipped two major bills this month to get extra groceries and make sure he had a good birthday. Well today my hubby text me and said his check was almost 300 dollars extra for money his job has owed him since last year!!!

Im 16 weeks pregnant. My stress is at an all time now between work, school, family issues and trying to make sure my baby's okay. I just need some stress relief techniques i've tried walking, talking to friends but none of its working it just leads to me feeling depressed for some time. Mind you i've picked up on my bad habit of smoking cigarettes but not a whole cig or not that often but it makes me feel like crap so I need something else beside the just breathe technique.

So I am 17 weeks now and feeling g physically ill due to stress. Any ideas for stress relief? Most of my go to activities aren't working. Between a creep video taping my daughter (who's 2) while at my in laws and my fil telling me I'm blowing things out of proportion, my husband reverting to whatever his dad says is law, and being the mean evil board member Sharing with 50 members their dues are increasing 3Xs what they're used to.....I'm sick and cramping.

The imediate post-stress myocardial images show defect in the antero-apical and apical walls of the left ventrical. The overall size of the defect is small. Resting images show nearly complete normalization of these perfusion defects. In addition, prominent breast tissue attenuation artifact was noted. The patient had appropriate HR response, and appropriate BP response. Negative for chest pain, mildly positive for ischemic ECG changes, and negative for significant arrhythmia.

We always have to get a resting scan with cardiolite and then do a stress test and repeat scan with cardiolite so that we can compare resting images to stress images. Our institution does it the way you had yours with rest portion first. It just depends on the institution, which protocol they use. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I just found out today that I needed this. I didn't think to ask at the time.

The test appropriate for evaluation of pumping ability would be to analyze the degree of heart wall movement impairment from thd prior heart attack. Apparently, the stress stress was a perfusion test to view the blood flow at rest and during exercise. With exercise there is a higher demand for blood/oxygen and the test results would help determine the degree of blockage, etc.

My husband just received his results from recent stress test. (He is 36 y/o. Father had first double bypass at 37 and died at 56, so there is a family history of heart issues.) Stress spect cardiolite images decreased cardiolite uptake in anterior and inferior walls. Spect cardiolite scan was positive for moderate amount of ischemia of anterior and inferior walls. Comments: 1. Anterior defect/possible soft tissue/breast attenuation artifact, 2.

Myocardial perfusion imaging shows normal tracer uptake on the resting images. Stress images show a new small midly revesible defect in teh anterior wall. This appears consistent with a small amount of anterior reversible ischemia. However, shifting soft tissue/breast attenuation cannot be excluded. Gated analysis shows normal systolic function and wall motion with ejection fraction of 66%.

Stress images show a medium to large sized perfusion defect of moderate to high severity involving the apex, leteral and inferior wall. There is no evidence of reversibility of the apical inferior wall shile evidence of good reversibility is noted over the other mentioned defects on rest images.

extremely scary.... I am off for stress, and on medications. Dr. said not to worry but he doesnt know about last nights episodes. Do you know what could be causing this Dr.? Thankyou in advance for your help.

Myocardial images acquired following exercise demonstrate a small sized perfusion defect of mild severity in the inferior region of the left ventricle. The rest images reveal complete reversibility in this region. Stress images also reveal a mild decrease of tracer uptake in the anterior area of the apex. The rest images are unchanged in this region. Cavity dilatation is not present. Systolic myocardial thickening and wall motion at rest are normal on gated imaging.

I dont know whether to have a echo stress test or a normal ekg stress test.What is the difference? Does the echo stress include ekg or is it seperate?Does one show up ischemia and the other valve problems is that right?Am a little confused.

Can someone please help me understand my recent Stress test findings: Images show mild intensity small-sized defect, located in the distal anterior and apical wall. Rest images show no change of the defect compared to the stress images. This defect suggests infarction vs. artifact in the wall. Gated SPECT imaging demonstates abnormal septal motion of the distal anterior and apical wall. The left ventricular ejection fraction was calculated to be 56%.

Then the stress came back with Negative pharm stress for ischemia, duffuse attenuation artifact on rest images (inferior wall, septum, apex), improved perfusion on stress images with persistent defect at the apex - fixed apical defect consistent with infarct scar, apical akinesia, normal systolic function - LVEF 59%. My question is - should I be concerned about how much these tests differ - it does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the accuracy of the tests?

My nuclear stress test results were as follows ver batim. I do not know what it means, are the results acceptable, good very good etc. What does this say about the blood flow to the heart muscle ? "injection of Myoview nuclear tracer & resting images obtained excercised on a treadmill for 5 min 34 sec. to 10.

Flycaster is correct, they most likely saw some areas of uneven distribution of the tracer in your post stress images. Don't get too worked up, it could be a false positive from soft tissue attenuation, in any case a cath will clear up everything. It must be tough and it is certainly easy for me to say, but try not to worry until you know what's going on. Emotional stress won't help. Good luck!

I read your two posts about the echocardiogram, and it is very difficult to comment about the results without having the images to analize. Generally speaking, it says that there was nothing to suggest that part of your heart's muscle is not receiving enough oxygen during exercise (no ischemia). About the left ventricular hypertrophy, it could be related to a thickening of the walls of the heart, or due to an increased diameter of the left ventricle.

I had that happen (and still get those images occasionally). It's called intrusive thoughts. My psychiatrist told me that the fact that it upset me so much shows that I'm not a horrible person (my thoughts were just awful :( ). Do you see a psychiatrist? There are meds (even some they can put you on temporarily) that can help you get through this... sometimes they're caused by stress (or in my case, a bipolar mood disturbance). I know it's terrifying.
