I have had a stress ecogramme now waiting for angiogramme im terrified as i will be awake, has anyone had this, what was it like, does it hurt, does the artery bleeding stop, im told after this it may show i need to go to a specialist heart hospital to have stent fitted! does this hurt can you feel the stent when its in, does it last forever I have high bp at the best of times but must be off the scale now.

Hi Christine,first don't panic,I've had an angiogram doesn't hurt,I had mine into the wrist and wide awake ,a sharp scratch and after didn't feel a thing,I will need 3 stents but I'm in the long long queue,and no you don't bleed after,soon heals up.

Hi Christine,I was on asprin but had to come off them as they made me bleed inside so now on Clopidodril to thin blood and on statins,open heart surgery has never been mentioned and how long I've got to wait I don't know,I think it will be if and when it becomes life threatening and they got to do something,I have a dull ache most of the time but just in the chest so I don't worry about it,I know by now if I need to ring 999 but unlike you I don't get stressed,,you need to chill out a bit,lol,take care.x

Hi, forgive me if I sound like I'm showing off but I've had 9 angiograms now and there is nothing to worry about. I've had them in the groin and both wrists and I just relax and find the whole process quite interesting. I have got a bit cold sometimes and you can wear paper nickers if you ask. I've never asked about socks ! If They find a narrowing or a blockage it will feel like your usual chest pain but they can rapidly give you I v pain relief or strong gtn so you are in good hands. I like to watch my arteries on the screen. Good luck with it and remember they do it all the time. X

Hi Christine. I'm not yet diagnosed and will be having my ecg stress test next week. Any idea how long you have to wait for results? I've been unwell for 4 months with chest pains, neck, jaw and headaches. Find it really hard to walk even short distances without chest pain/breathlessness etc.... anyone else have this problem? Thanks and take care

I'm 50 now. Had my first angio 11 years ago and they didn't find anything.
Same with all the others, because I have Prinzmetals so there is no blockage or narrowing except when my arteries go into spasm.
I have had lots of cardiologists who won't believe I have Prinzmetals so they do an angiogram to have a look.
I'm resigned to it now so just go with the flow.
Some hospitals like you to not wear undies so I ask for paper nickers. You wear a gown though.
