what does Nuclear mean in that context?
Not completely sure. They put an IV in me, then gave me a dose of some radioactive stuff. Then I laid on my back on a scanning machine and it "sees" the radiation moving through the heart. Then a guy hooked me up to about 50 wires and gave me the stress test dose, and I felt.... absolutely nothing. More radiation stuff in the IV, another 15 minutes on my back in the scanner and then 8 minutes on my stomach. Didn't know if I could do the stomach part but I did! Now I see the heart doc Monday for clearance.
