to any of you who have had this test....do they put you into many symptom provocative positions - are they very sucessfull if there is only a mild reduction in pulse.....

Tracey,
My computer is acting up, as is my TOS. BUT, I think I wrote about doppler testing on my tests below (updated every year) and it's number 5. It does NOT hurt me at all as it is just radar or pulsatintg light moved through the veins to make sure their are no blood clots
So it looks like to me you have a good guy who is checking out both vascular and neuro symptoms. Please post often so we may dissuage your fears.
God's healing to you.
