[disclaimer: I'm no doctor and I try and let my wife do the translating between English and Doctor-speak]

I had an angiogram after my heart attack many many years ago. At least for me, it was no big deal. They went in from my groin and imaged the heart and arteries. I was knocked out and don't remember much of it at all. If they discover blockages they'll often use the same procedure to insert stents (not needed in my case..).

On a uncomfortable scale of 1 to 10, it barely counted as a one. I hope you can say the same afterwards!

Good luck, hope you recover fully!
