After an angiogram, it's really important to take any new or unusual symptoms seriously — especially so soon after the procedure. Lower back pain and swelling (puffiness) are symptoms that should not be ignored.
These could be signs of a complication that needs prompt medical attention. Please contact your doctor or go to the emergency room right away if you are experiencing:
- Lower back or abdominal pain
- Swelling or puffiness near the groin or abdomen
- Chest pain or pressure
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fever or signs of infection at the procedure site
Don't wait to see if it gets better on its own. It's always better to get checked out and have it be nothing, than to delay and have it turn into something more serious.
Please seek medical attention as soon as possible — call your cardiologist, your doctor, or head to the nearest emergency room now.
