I had my 2 angiograms 14 years ago and both through the groin. Last week I did a stress test with my Cardiologist and my result wasn't up to my usual high standard - I started to get short of breath at 6 min 40 sec. He wants me to have another angiogram as something has changed - he said they are mostly done through the arm these days (less bleeding, less bleeding and faster recovery). I am really scared and anxious that something is wrong and I haven't given him an answer if I will do the test or not as I am very phobic of medical procedures and needles. He is going to call me next week and I have to give him an answer - I guess I will say yes.
