Little family history of heart issues. Had normal echo, stress test and ekg. Dr is recommending cath as a precautionary test. If they do cath and find no issues how long am I grounded for ?

A cath without any symptoms or testing to warrant it?

Was having some chest pain but they are sure just stress related. Just think he's being over cautious

Touchdown! Greaser!
If you are cathed and negative, you fly that same day.
If you are cathed and not negative, you probalbly wanted to know anyway.
However, there are two ways to view this: First, unless you are a person who needs a "test" to push you to (1) Eating right (2) Exercising (3) maintaining a lean body mass, (4) controlling glucose intolerance, then you would do all those things you should do anyway and a Cath is needless additional risk.
Be honest with yourself. Which one are you? Do you need the Cath to push your behaviors?
