Hi Mel, I kinda had the same thing happen with me. They spotted a weird kind of shadow on the picture portion of my stress test. I had to go to the hospital where they ran a stress echo. You get on a treadmill and get up to max heart rate then you get down and lie down really fast and they do an echo cardiogram while your heart is beating fast. The doctor himself runs that kind of test. It ended up being nothing, just a shadow on the film but they were making sure to be safe. Maybe it's the same thing in your case, could just be a weirdo thing that showed up in the test for whatever reason and they want to double c heck you to be sure. Take a deep breath and try not to worry too much. Let us know what you find out. Linda

Hi Mel. Don't worry, there are a lot of snags in the road during this journey. Like Linda said, it could be just a shadow. Easier said than done, but worrying won't help you out much. Hang in there and let us know.

i had that done on thur the stress echo.

Mel, I had two shadowy area after my stress test. I had to have a cardiac cathretization, all turned out fine, but it was scarey. Hold on to your mind, and don't let it run off. I hope everything turns out ok, keep us updated. T

Mel, Dont worry! Just remember we are on God's time not ours and He will take care of us!!! He is watching over you and is taking care of your needs but we all have to be patient Good things happen to those who wait and its always better to be safe than sorry. Boy am I the quote lady today!!! Seriously its always good to catch things before hand so that you have the safest surgery and best recovery. It will all work out Best Wishes! Elizabeth M -44lbs
