I had this test done Jan 7/08. they injected me for the stress test. After the injection I felt hot my heart was racing,. After the test I went down hill I had a severe reaction to the injection my pulse and blood pressure dropped alot. They had the call  ER Nurses to me right away and call the Cardiac doctor back he then injected me with the drug that counter reacts the first injection. I found out the next day that I was on the verge of a heart attack, I will never have this test done again.
