doydie,

Thank you for the info. Is the cardiac cath similar to an Angiogram???

doydie, if you reread my previous post about Charlie going with you; I also mentioned Charlie being calm, and not add to any stress...., etc. I had pretty much figured out from past posts the possibility of his having a bit of an attitude. "What a guy"; but I'm sure he is really adorable.

Actually it is a bit concerning with the type of stress test using medication which really gets your heart pumping. I remember thinking with the way my heart was pumping; "can this test actually bring on a heart attack"?

Are there any withdrawal side effects; other than increasing your heart rate, going off beta blocker without decreasing your dose gradually?
