Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Pain At The Back Of Neck After Angioplasty?

My aunt had an angioplasty (not sure if I'm correct, had her arteries unclogged) on Wed may 30th and she is complaining of a pain in the back of her neck, light head, and doesn't feel like herself. Told her to go back to emerge, she thinks it's nothing!

I wouldnt think it is related. It could be cervical spondylosis or some vertebral artery problem. You should get an Xray of Cervical spine done and a Color Doppler of neck vessels. Let us know with the reports. Take care.
