A member asked:
Had nuclear stress about 13 years ago don't remember meds used! had hida 2 yrs ago plus annual mammos. too much radiation? nuclear dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nuclear stress test: It would be unusual for a 33 year old woman to have a condition where a nuclear stress test was helpful. The effects of radiation exposure are measured in very small numbers -- while not zero, the risk of a radiation side effect is quite low from the kinds of diagnostic tests you've had. The goal is to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably possible, while using tests when needed.
