I Saw A Cardiologist, Dr. Waram On Thursday 12/22, And

I saw a cardiologist, Dr. Waram on Thursday 12/22, and he ordered a stress test on Friday, 12/23, which I concluded without problem. They injected me with I believe iodine to monitor areas of my heart before and after the nuclear stress test. I did not hear back from anyone, and my follow up appointment is next Thursday afternoon with my cardiologist. I have noticed a more full feeling in my heart after the tests, which I have today. My heart rate is still approximately 60, and my BP was 124/76 left side and 130/80 right side, and my post-stress test was a bit higher and progressively coming down as I cooled down. I have been taking two low does (81 mg) aspirins twice per day as a precaution. I do not feel like i am in any duress, otherwise i would simply go to the hospital (e.g., Mayo is 15 minutes away), but is it standard to feel a bit more pressure after having these tests?
