Hi! I know its quire late to reply to you question. But I would say if you have such kind of problems then do not go to many health consultants just get the checkups done and find out the specialist near about you. Hope all going to be fine!

try this article below. it describes exactly which test to make and which medicine to use. it even writes about an alternative way to cure with food which was supposed to be very successful.

I don't think I'd worry about anything - certainly won't help anything, especially your blood pressure.  I'd relax, and see what happens with the stress test.  I think the thallium stress test is a good, pretty reliable, non-invasive test to determine whether or not you have a problem.  Let us know what the results are - good luck!

Good luck with your test.
