A member asked:
Are you supposed to fast before an echo test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: You are not mentioning which organ is getting an "echo" test. But in any case, fasting is not required. If it is a cardiac echo, no special prep needed. If it is a uterine echo, no fasting but drinking a lot of water beforehand is recommended.
