I recently had an angiogram procedure. Felt very lucky to be given the chance to ascertain what is causing my attacks (my original appointment 3 weeks prior had to be re-arranged due to an emergency in the department and my temperature rising) A Stent was placed in several years ago but inflation failed so a 2nd stent was put in.
All went well with Angiogram I did not need any new Stents although some traces of disease was found. The Staff on the ward were very good and helpful. I wanted to mention to someone that something is very wrong with my health with these very unpleasant experiences I have but am pleased to know that my heart is as well as can be expected. I think the collection times for relatives could be improved. My poor husband had barely arrived home only to be phoned to come and pick me up (I wondered if this could be taken up with the Nurses in the ward to think this through before rushing to discharge? I drank most of the water they asked me very nearly 2 jugs plus fruit juice and 2 cups tea. After a very short time in the car journey home I experienced extreme pain in my lower back .. the pain was agonizing and like I have never thought possible. I was slightly sick and after the long hour drive and an hour in bed at home the terrible pain subsided but I thought someone ought to be told? The pain was really very bad.
