Including the wait time, I was at the hospital for over 5 hours.

I don't think my BP or heart rate went up enough after I was injected with the medication that was supposed to simulate exercise, but that may be because I'm so out of shape? I really don't know. I was also supposed to have images taken 1/2 hour after that, but had to wait over an hour instead.

Nobody would tell me anything.

But my PCP posted some results to the patient portal this morning. At rest, my heart is doing just fine, but he didn't have the results of the "nuclear perfusion study" at that time, and that's the part of the test that shows how well blood is pumping to and through my heart when it's stressed after the injection, which is the whole point of the study, right?. I wish he would have waited to post results until he had the full report.

The expectation is that the test will turn out normal tho, and I hope that is the case. I need to catch a break.
