I'm scheduled to have an angiogram next week and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it. How long does it usually take to recover fully from this procedure? I'm also worried about any possible side effects or serious risks that might come with it. And after the angiogram, will I need to stay in the hospital for a long time?

1-3 days is the hospital stay, post angioplasty sideeffects include paininfection, itching, bleeding and swelling.. They resolve after 3 days..

View allHey, I've been feeling really worried lately. So, I'm a 29-year-old guy and back in December, I had this scary episode where my heart was racing like crazy and I had chest pain. I rushed to the hospital, they did an ECG, and said everything looked fine. I even saw another senior cardiologist who also checked me out and didn't find anything alarming. They gave me some meds like clonozopam and betacap tr 40, and things were okay for a while. But the past few weeks, I've been getting this weird fluttering or vibrating feeling in my heart, especially in the evenings. I don't have any chest pain or other symptoms now, but I'm really stressed about it. With the lockdown, I'm having trouble seeing a doctor again. Do you think this could just be anxiety, or is there something else going on? What should I do? I've attached the ECG from that time, if that helps.
That could be due to anxiety,if your previos medicines are avaialable with you you can take those medicines and visit psychiatrist for appropriate management

My creatinine level is at 1.3, which I understand is borderline. I'm considering going for coronary angiography but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to proceed, and if so, what precautions should I be aware of?
If creatinine is at the borderline level of 1.3, it is important to assess the overall kidney function before proceeding with coronary angiography. Precautions that should be taken include ensuring adequate hydration before and after the procedure, monitoring kidney function closely, and considering the use of contrast media with lower nephrotoxicity. Additionally, medications such as N-acetylcysteine and sodium bicarbonate may be considered to help protect the kidneys during the procedure.
