I just had this done to me today (Lexiscan), and because it was foreign to me I got scared, but I only felt pressure as if they were filling your body up with something, like in the Matrix and you thought you were drawning and pulling you in different directions. At one point they did ask me if I wanted to call the Ambulance and I said no is not that bad, is pressure, slight headache, dizzy and at the end, you can taste the metal. It wasn't an awful experience at all, but it wasn't roses either, but no pain at all!. My advise? Stop reading the negative comments, is not that bad at all, be strong!

Thank you. I got more information from this video alone than the entire ARA customer service department in Austin Texas. Not sure what it is about that city but it truly includes the worst doctors and most ignorant/lazy people out of the 12 major cities I’ve lived in. Wish I was closer to this facility. Been to 4 different doctors spent over $5k and nobody knows what’s going on. I got conflicting info from each healthcare individual for each test I go and get. Then I’ll show up and they don’t even have an appointment for me even after I show them the texts/emails confirming said appointments. And that’s of course after driving 2 hours to only go 8 miles to get to the SINGLE facility available with this test in the entire city of 2 million people metro.
