How will the Test Feel?
You may feel the same symptoms as with a regular stress test or with a session of strenuous exercise: fatigue, muscle cramps in your legs or feet, some shortness of breath, or chest pain.
If you will not be exercising but will be receiving a vasodilator injection, you may feel a sting as the medication goes into the IV, which may be followed by a feeling of warmth. Some patients also develop a headache or nausea.
If any of the symptoms listed above appear during your test, let the lab personnel know immediately.
