Avatar n tn I had a thalium stress test yesterday...I have a ten month old child at home..how long before the radiation leaves my body so I know it is safe to handle my child...I work in a hospital and radiation silent alarm went off today so Im assuming its still pretty high. I had the test at 1pm yesterday...is it s still very strong and should I be worried about exposing it to my family?? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/251941'>Thalium</a>.
Avatar f tn My non stress test was basically getting hooked up to the same monitors the hospital has. There's a Monitor to watch frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions, and one to watch baby's heart. My baby wasn't stressed but I'm sure they'd probably induce immediately if baby is showing signs of distress, especially since your due date has passed.
Avatar f tn can I refuse to do a nuclear stress test? I have a treadmill at home and can barely complete 3-5 minutes on it without be tired and out of breath. I have an echo on the same day and think whatever info needed could come from that. Or should I just do what I can do but I don't want to be forced to complete the 15min order by the dr??
Avatar f tn My rx says adenosine nuclear stress test. Adenosine is used in lieu of exercise.
Avatar m tn Please no judgement. I am 19 weeks pregnant and have just stopped smoking marijuana this week (I was using is as it helped with nausea, anxiety and depression) I will not be smoking again for the duration of the pregnancy, but someone told me that they will test the baby's meconium and take her away from us when she is born. I'm really scared, I had no idea that this was a regular test. I don't want to loose my child, please help, any advice is appreciated.
11849443 tn?1441302841 Instead, ordinary stress EKG testing is performed and you are pushed until complete exhaustion (max heart rate) and if the test is inconclusive, the next step is nuclear stress test and then angiography if CAD is suspected, or Holter/heart monitors and then EP study with arrhythmias. Honestly I don't understand why the original poster is getting a stress echo instead of a normal stress test, if the point is only to reveal SVT.
Avatar m tn I recently had a stress echo test and had severe white coat hypertension meaning that going into the test I knew my heart rate was significantly higher than normal. I was very anxious about having a stress echo to say the least and wonder if this would skew the test? It was very hard for me to let go (relax) and have it return to a normal rate. At rest it was in the 110 to 120 range. My resting blood pressure was also high 170/72 which is high for me.
Avatar n tn ve been extremely stressed to the point where I barely get enough sleep. Do you think that the stress is contributing to the increase of those warts? Lastly, If left untreated, will the warts eventually go away on their own? Thank you for your time!
Avatar f tn The doctor said the ekg and echo looked good, but that the stress test was positive and I need a thallium stress test now. My cholestrol and triglycerides are great. During the stress test, I had a minor chest pain, and am wondering if that is why he wants a thallium stress test now. I really don't want to be exposed to radiation. Can the incline training bring on a heart problem?

Avatar f tn It was " suggested " that I have a stress test. It's not mandatory so I'm wondering if I should have one done at all. Has anyone had a stress test? If so what did the results reveal?

Avatar f tn In a low risk pregnancy a non stress test or stress test would only be warranted if their was a concern. However diabetics (both gestational and non) have a higher rate of stillborn babies (still rare, but better to be safe) so its common practice to keep a closer eye as the pregnancy nears the end.
