Should I worry about a high Calcium score

Angiogram went fine. I am borderline which means I am at 70% blockage and decided not to have stent placement. Will keep up with statins and improve my lifestyle but when they put the gauze to cover the catheter puncture they pressed to hard. Next day i am having pain and now I have a blood clot in the vein (not the artery) which means I have to take Eliquis for the next 90 days and drop the aspirin for a while. Suggestion: if you do the angiogram choose a surgeon that inserts the catheter through the wrist and not the groin. That's where I am right now. Hopefully the groin bruise goes away soon because it is very uncomfortable.

Always ask questions before a procedure, so complications can be kept to a minimum.
Doctors do not always give a patient the complete story.
Hopefully you will feel better soon.
