If your stress MRI is on 26th April you have missed it!

You have to ask your GP or cardiologist about driving. Usually it is two weeks but I know one person where it was five months as there were some complications. If you fail the stress test they will probably carry out further investigations.
Ok thanks
If you’ve had a straight MR I before, it’s just the same. You have to lie still and take instructions about breathing etc. The addition of a stress test... you’ll have a drug put into one arm, and the pics are taken and you get the antidote in the other one, it’s pretty quick. My heart raced, which was a little unnerving, but they watch you v carefully, and it returns to normal v quickly.
Hope it goes well.
