hi and welcome!

I didn't have to see a cardiologist - but I did have to have a nuclear stress test.  That consisted of having an injection of nuclear matter - then got on treadmill for what seemed like an eternity - then had to go under a machine to have photos taken of my heart (cant' remember if that was same day or next day)... it is a 2 part test.

Good luck!

I saw the cardiologist.  It was basically taking all my healthy history, then listened to my heart, and did an EKG.  Found out I have a murmur so a stress test was scheduled.  I had to come back for that tho.

I know my cardiologists  made me have a stress test.  That is because heart problem run in my family.  other then that he did do much of anything else.
