Since then I have had annual thallium stress tests and annual regular stress tests. All stress test results have been normal and similar. I jog about 30 minutes each day and never feel chest discomfort. However, on occassion I do feel a chest discomfort while at rest that can last for a day or two. My daily medications consist of hydrodiuril, atenenol, imdur, vasotec, pravachol, and aspirin.
Annual thalliums are a common way to follow coronary artery disease.
