Paula56 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I am scheduled for an angiogram in January. I have an occluded artery (M1) and they want to see what the blood flow rate from the collateral artery. I am having high anxiety over having the angiogram. I am afraid of dislodging plaque. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi Paula A very warm welcome to BTG. Wishing you well for your angiogram in January. Its normal to feel anxious as Louise has said. Try not to worry. Ask them to talk you through it and tell them your concerns so they can reassure you. I found it painless and all went ok for me. Take care and let us know how you get on, Tina xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
