Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your headache, as it does not suggest any serious illness.

Contrast agent is used for coronary angiogram, and in some cases, it may cause headaches.

It would settle down on own. For relief of headache, you may take diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
