Ask why all the nuclear stress tests at your early age. Perhaps you know but didn't include in your question.

Have u had these tests?

Did the previous tests show any cause for concern? And how long ago were they?

I recently had to have two CT scans with contrast, and more recently a nuclear stress test. I was a bit hesitant, and did discuss the need for this with my doctor. I think it's always worth asking the question as to why it is needed, what difference will it make, and whether there are alternative tests they could use like MRI that might be sufficient.

Thanks how old were u had stress test? Thanks

Much older than you! But the waiting room had people of all ages in it. The advantage of being young is having a better ability to recover from any problems and respond to things like lifestylechanges. Askyour doctors lots of questions.
