Is Fatigue Normal After Cardiac Catheterazation And Stent Insertion?
My husband had a Cardiac Cath and 2 stents inserted on Thursday. He is extremely tired and fatigued today. There is no fever, swelling around the site, or other signs they told us to watch for. Should we be concerned with the fatigue or is it normal for a few days ?? Thank you

Post procedure fatigue is common and may last for upto 2 weeks. He can slowly regain his original fitness and get back to all his routine activities after taking rest for the first 2 weeks.
