Hi, I Have GAD (I've Had It For 40 Years),
Hi,
I have GAD (I've had it for 40 years), SOB is an almost constant symptom lately......I wore a Holter Monitor, multiple Ekg's, Echocardiogram and the Calcium CT scan with a zero score result all within the past couple months and almost 2 years ago had an Echo Stress.....ALL came back fine. The Cardiologist also ordered a nuclear stress test with all the other ones. My question is at this point is that test necessary?? Finances are not good and since everything is coming back negative or normal, I'm apprehensive.
