Just had one done, my 5th so far in the last 25 years. It was a chemical stress test as my knee is bad and I can't run on a thread mil. I had the same sensations as all the other times and came out of the procedure ok. It's quite a feeling but I get over it fairly quick.

My wife on the other hand has a really bad time with it. Not from a problem with her heart it's just the sensation that really bothers her and she's pretty much done for the day, it takes a lot out of her. Still her results are always good but she really hates it and says she feels like she was run over.

Well, echocardiogram is next and hoping for good results. I feel good all things considered, so far my cardiac device seems to be doing its job
 
I had the chemical stress test six months ago early in the morning and I felt horrible afterwards. As soon as I got home, I went to bed and slept for most of the day. Then I was up for a few hours in the evening and went back to sleep. Luckily, the results were good. I would never have one again unless I had a very good reason.
 
It's not normal to get them several times a year?......I have another one next week.......Oh Damn! I get PET and CT scans quite often.
