If you got one, how was it?

It's such an invasive test is what worries me. I see some people have lasting after effects from it.

My dad had one. He had narrowing in his arteries, and they used it to determine if he had any blockages. It never caused him any issues.

Lee, thanks for your comment. I thought it must be kinda unpleasant if nobody here wanted to discuss it so, since they were just wanting to check a small aspect of a heart function and I have not had any symptoms, I decided to cancel the test. If need be later I'll reschedule it.
