Cardiac Stress Test

[Elizabeth A. Rogers]

I'm just wondering if anyone has had one or know of anyone who has.
I'm taking one next week and I guess I didn't realize that they inject
you with some type of "nuclear medicine". Does anyone know anything
about this or if there is an alternative. I got hurt at work a few
months ago and am going thru workman's comp and so far nothing has
been done-very slow. I have something wrong with my shoulder-dr. had
an mri of my spine, but not sure what is going to happen next. At
least it didn't show a pinched nerve He's been away on some
conventions. That's why it's taking so long. I hate insurance
companies. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks, Elizabeth

Dear Lizbeth

So far as I know, Cardiac Stress Test should involve you walking/running on
a treadmill connected to various monitors. It should not involve any nuclear
medicine.
Pls see

http://heartdisease.about.com/cs/cardia ... stress.htm
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

However, you may be talking about the Thallium Stress Test
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter. ... ifier=4743

Indeed, this will involve the injection of some nuclear material with a
short half life, but you will have to avoid hugging babies and going near
pregnant mums for about a day or 2.

This site will give you info on all the options:

i sympathize with you. i was in a small accident in june and seriously
injured
my knee. the insurance companies, of course, only want allopathic
assessment
and treatment. i finally went to a nurse practitioner that i know who would
work with me to some degree. i asked her to officially recommend protocols
such as physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc. i also
found
out the the insurance companies recognize osteopaths.. so i found one that
practices traditional energy work and waiting a month for an appointment.
it was
my first experience with a DO. many do's are allopaths in disguise, so you
need
to be careful who you see. this guy was very good and i feel he actually
helped.
after 3 tx with this guy, i purchased a deeper acting potency of a
homeopathic
rx that i thought would be helpful--and it was.

but do not let them inject any radiated material into your spine. it can
be
dangerous--even the injection itself can cause damage to the nerve tissue.

good luck
