Description

We all assumed the results would be good and this would be the base from which we would measure any future problems. I had a physical recently that was normal except for slightly high blood sugar which I controlled with diet. I had lost 20 pounds giving up all sugar and snacks. I was walking a mile a day and feeling fine. I had no symptoms of anything wrong - even my ekg was excellent. The scan itself was easy. I was only at the center for an hour. I can't tell you how surprised I was when they called me in to review my results and recommended that I see a cardiologist as soon as I returned to Florida for a thaliuim stress test. I was surprised the Scan found something, but felt I needed to do exactly what the doctor recommended. Needless to say I flunked the stress test. Next step...an angiogram. Of course first I had to find the right cardiologist. I wanted an interventional cardiologist (someone who regularly does this procedure). The cardiologist told me that she could more or less pin point where the blockage was just from looking at the stress test results. We scheduled the angiogram. If major blockage is found the next step is an immediate angioplasty and perhaps a stent put in place to keep the blocked artery open.
