angiogram
- Thread starter Ladyraven
- Start date
I've had a couple. No swelling. You've just got to keep the leg immobilized with pressure for a while for the entry point to heal so the bleeding does not resume.Ladyraven said:Anyone have a angiogram before ? did your right leg swell up? am I just paraniod .
I've had one, no swelling at all but it was a tad uncomfortable to walk for a couple of days. Really, it is a very simple procedure and nothing to worry about in terms of after effects. Setting my broken nose was 100 times worse.
I've had one 4 years ago. No swelling that I recall. They put a clamp on the entry point in my groin for an hour after, then removed that and put a sandbag for another hour or so then I was good to go. Told me not to do anything strenuous for a few days after.
If you have had one and are swelling go to a walk-in clinic to have it checked. If you are going to have one don't sweat it.

Yeah, the heartburn feeling is normal, that is the feeling of the dye releasing. The cool images of the veins totally make up for it though.skypilot said:No swelling but wore support hose they gave me for a week or so. Only problem I had was chest pain during the procedure. Like bad heartburn.

Swelling of the leg is not a good thing . If you are still swollen and can't get a hold of your doctor you should be going to Emergency .
Thank you to all. I had one last monday . I am going for a ultra sound tomorrow to check on things in my groin .

Hope things are going to be ok with you. I didn't even know you had been in the hospital. Hope you get well soon.

That is great to hear. Just take it easy and you will be back to normal before you know it.
