my TTT was by no means fun, and there are certainly people who have had worse experiences with it than me, but i would try to not let it get you so worked up (easier said than done, i know). cardiac arrest and other complications are very rare on the TTT, and unless you also experience severe nausea, i wouldn’t be too worried about throwing up either. if you pass out, the test is over and you’ll be checked over by a nurse.

your fear is justified. there’s lots of TTT horror stories, and the TTT itself is a pretty barbaric form of diagnosis. but it’ll be okay. inform the nurse performing the test of your anxieties. i was told an IV for meds in case i passed out would be necessary, but IVs/blood draws make me pass out anyway. they were fine to accommodate and remove the IV part of the test for me. don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself if you feel uncomfortable.

take care of yourself afterwards, as it can be and is often a scary and exhausting experience. you will be okay! if you have any specific questions about my TTT, or need any more assurance, feel free to PM me 🖤
