Can I Do Mild Physical Activity After Having An Angiogram?
I had an angiogram 24 hours ago, everything was normal. I spent 6 hours in hospital afterwards to be monitored and was then sent home. I was told no heavy lifting, pushing, pulling or car driving for 3 days. On Internet sites it says complete bed rest for 48 hours. I have 2 young children - can I put washing in the machine, cook their tea, and walk about a bit between having rests or am I over doing it?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
you can start with your daily routine activities with limited exertion
Complete best rest is not advised unless the patient is suffering with a serious heart problem
Discuss this with your doctor and then decide.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
