Hi Marie,

 

I am not familiar with people getting heart disease from an angiogram, but people can be allergic to the dye used during an angiogram.  I encourage you to call your physician or go to the emergency room if you think you are having any type of reaction or having chest pain.

 

Best of luck,

thank you for answering my questions. I guess we get afraid and don'y know what to expect and we start to think negative. I am allergic to the dye I had mentioned it to the Doctor. So if the angiogram is neg. for no finding so there should be no problems after a angiogram...thank you so much

 

  Sincerly,

        Marie
