Possible Complications
Complications are rare. If you are planning to have this test, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Irregular heartbeat
- Heart attack (rare)
Technicians will be checking for signs of heart or lung problems. They will be prepared to take action right away if complications develop. A cardiologist (heart specialist) will also be available during the test.
