has anyone out there had a cardiac catheterization? i had one very unexpectedly on wednesday and am wondering when you feel back to normal? i was on several cardiac meds and a heparin drip for a day and to go from no meds at all to some of those is why i feel so blah? anyway my cath was normal so i am very thankful. just wondering how long the groin is sore and when you start to feel better:)

Hi Cathy, ouch!!! I didn't have too much of a bump thankfully, but it is uncomfortable for several days, will probably take a week or so for the bruising to get less tender. Glad you aren't on any medications, that's a really good thing. I agree with peapicker, that lying still was not a lot of fun. LOL.
Hope you are soon feeling MUCH better. take care. blessings Phyllis |

Hi Cathy, I had one about four years ago and I had the big bump too. I took about a week and then I didn't really notice it anymore. Glad it all turned out ok for you. The worst part for me was having to lay down flat for so long afterwards.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Hey Cathy, so sorry you had such an exciting Wed. Glad the cath. results were normal. I had one a few years back and it took about a week to feel a lot better. Esp. since you were on a lot of medications you hadn't been on before. are you on any now? some of those meds will make you feel pretty bad for a bit.
Hope you are feeling better soon. blessings Phyllis |

So sorry to hear you've had problems Cathy. Huggzz to you and hope you feel better soon! I've never had one. My mom has though and she was pretty much back to normal within a wk or so. She was pretty tender in the groin area for awhile till the bruising went away but otherwise she recovered quickly.
