Need advice on heart disease and stress test

wondering who can share info about heart disease...seen a test result that said "severe coronary decalification". Heart Dr wants stress test done. had one about 12 yrs ago where I left procedure in tears cuz how I felt and ended up in ER twice that night with heart attack symptoms. This Dr says he guarantees stress test didn't do that. never happened before that test and not since. Terribly worried to do again. Any experiences. Also wants me to start lipitor and have read bad results from medical sites. Anyone tried lipitor?

Hey uno, I know of stress tests that can be made only with medicine that increases heartbeat without the need for any actually exercising. Maybe consider asking your doctor about it
