I had one coupled with an echocardiogram last Feb. as a result of chest pain while at work in the OR. I let a co-worker aggravate me and internalized my anger. The cost was around $1200 for the room and equipment usage, plus the MD fee of $200. The bill was my second stress test. Passed the ordeal with flying colors at 58. Learned to ignore my co-worker(s) and life is good. If you have a family history of cardiac issues, find a way to make payments or whatever. I lost a friend the month before my incident to a massive heart attack and he was only 49. Took us all by surprise
