this is a question you need to ask your cardiology office as soon as possible. you should have received pre-test instructions that included a list of what medications you may and may not take. your instructions may also include information about eating and drinking before the test. verapamil is a calcium channel blocker drug that is used to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. it also may be used to treat chest pain (angina). verapamil is one of many medications cardiologists often do not want patients to take before a nuclear stress test. however you should not stop taking your verapamil unless instructed to do so by a physician. please contact your cardiologist's office for detailed instructions about how to prepare for a nuclear stress test. wishing you well!
