Anyone had an angiogram?

[maisie3351]

Had an angiogram yesterday morning. Felt ok last night. But went to the loo this morning and almost collapsed - tried to be sick, felt v hot and sweaty. Bit better now, but bad headache

Sorry to here that your not feeling very well Maisie.  I've just had to check with my mum and an angiogram is one thing she hasn't had done.  She's been cardiverted twice and it not nice.  I hope that you feel better soon.

oh dear, I hope that you feel a bit better now. If you are unsure, ring the ward and ask them, I'm sure they can spare a couple of minutes to put your mind at rest.

Hubby's had a couple ..... he's always been fine the following day, he goes for stents fitted next week but thats still only as a day patient.
I'd give the ward a ring like CB says, feeling ill the next day doesn't sound right.

i've had a couple always felt ok although because i live in shetland and hospital in aberdeen they kept me overnight check with doctor or probably better to check where you got it done as they'll have more experience

Thanks for your comments. My doctor came out - said it was probably a reaction to the dye used. I feel a lot better now.

 That's better news maisie...if you feel that reaction again - DON'T leave it - phone doc or hossie

More importantly if you have to have a repeat , mention it before they start!

[captainbovine]

[mouse4702]

BUMP so Maisie can see her flower

[maisie3351]

Thank you for my flower. You are all always so kind on here. Feeling fine now. On various meds now and hopefully won't have to have another angiogram! 🙂

Oh dear, how horrid for you.  Glad you are feeling ok again now.  I guess you

wouldn't have any way of knowing you'd react, having never had it done, but

at least you will know if ever you need another one.

My mum-in-law is having one in a few weeks as she was getting pains on

walking any distance (she is used to walking miles), and they don't know

whether it's angina or something else needing attention.
