I am scheduled for a Nuclear Stress Test because I can't do the treadmill and was recently told I have a blood clot in the back of my brain. Doc said it "was old" and not related to recent ER visit for left side numbness. But wondering if it's safe to go thru this test with this clot? Heart is going into AFib/AFlutter way to often do diagnostic test seems necessary. Anyone else have issues from a Nuclear Stress Test?

I have AFIB electrical part of the heart
It’s the most common heart diagnosis today and and is successfully treated through different processes that decision of course is between u and your medical team I developed AFIB after my heartattack and it became a chronic condition it took about a year to stablize that was five years ago and it’s still in a stable place prayers for your peace of mind and healing

Thank you. Did it yesterday and results say the plumbing of my heart is good. So now it's about the electrical aspect. One down, one more to go.
