Hiya,
Just had a bit of a scare actually, nothing to do with the angiogram as such tho! Had chest pains Friday night, so was admitted into hospital sharpish, assuming that it was an angina attack. Luckily, having had the angiogram so recently, the cardiologist discounted angina fairly quickly this time, but sent me for a CT scan and diagnosed a pulmonary embolism, a huge blood clot on one of my lungs!
So, I've been in hospital all week (again!) and waiting for the docs to sort my warfarin dosage out. I can't praise the docs and nurses here in Chesterfield enough, they're fantastic!
Oh dear what a nuisance! I have had this too!one week after my caeserian years ago and had to stay in hospital for one week on heparin drip boring! and then warfarin for while .... hope you be better soon. drinking water thins the blood and donating blood is another trick to thin the blood!( but not when on warfarin i dont think)
glad your hospital is great mine was boring!!
take care,
Amethsytfairy:)
Dear all
Having had a couple of heart attacks...god angiograms bring back horrible memories!!!...that awful pain afterward, to stop the bleeding, with that air pressure ball thingy, laying there for hours, immobile..and thinking for every minute...that through the pain...just how lucky I am to be able to feel it!...be strong, all of you, and know that we can get through all of this
