Preparing for Your Tests

Talk to your doctor about how to prepare for your tests and make sure to follow your physician’s instructions thoroughly. For some tests, exercise, dehydration, eating and other activities can affect your results. Tell someone at the test site if you’ve deviated from your doctor’s instructions in any way.

Before your test, tell your doctor about any medications you’re taking, including prescriptions and vitamins or supplements.
