For Diagnosis and Investigation "I originally went to the hospital with chest pain radiating to my left arm in the middle of the night. Being a previous MI patient, they did continuous blood work until noon the next day and then did the Lexiscan. This was the second Lexiscan I have had, and by golly, it was uncomfortable! I nearly ripped the technician's leg off because I felt my chest tighten down so darned hard. Well, the test went well, and I went home that evening. Two days later, I began itching all over my body, then broke out in hives. That was on Oct 25th, it is now Mar 3rd, and the dermatologist has tried everything in the book to stop the hives, to no avail! I have walked the floor all night because it itches much more when you are at rest. I am 69 years old and have never had any sort of skin problems, but this, this is driving me insane, and the only thing that precipitated this horrible case was the Lexiscan! I don't know who to report this to, so maybe someone can direct me. Thank you."

For Diagnosis and Investigation "This is a follow-up to my post on March 3rd. I had a Lexiscan in Oct and broke out in hives and itching, and now it is June 12th, and the hives and itching have not stopped since. I have been under the care of a dermatologist the entire time and now an endocrinologist, who says whatever is going on is systemic, which means there is something in my blood that the body is fighting with antibodies, most likely a drug. Well, I discontinued my blood pressure meds back in Dec in hopes it was that, but alas, it wasn't. I have serious questions about this Lexiscan drug and how long it stays in your system and if anyone else had been itching and breaking out in hives for over six months after having one."

For Diagnosis and Investigation "I have been itching since I had this test on Monday... over 40 hours ago... this med should not be given to patients who take asthma meds. I guess no one cared enough to read my medical history. I am concerned about this med staying in my body."
