The first one, if I'm on track, will test you heart under stress by introducing a drug that speeds up your heart. They do that for people who can't safely do a treadmill. They will look at you before with a radiologist camera that goes back and forth over your chest. Then they will do it again after they give you the isotope in an IV. That medicine will make you feel like you are peeing yourself and like you have been running. Some people I know panicked because you feel some chest pressure too. But the feeling doesn't last very long. But you will have to do a lot of waiting between parts of the test.
The pulmonary test is quite the trip. I hope you have a funny tech because there is a lot of difficult instructions involved with how to breathe and when. You are in this funny glass enclosure doing it. Nothing painful and you will get a wealth of information from the tests. Good luck and bring a book to the first test. Good luck lovely one.
