Had angioplasty of femoral artery with 5 stents. On Plavix. Feel tired, sleep all day and night. Is it normal ?
I had an angioplasty last week. Femoral artery 100% occluded. Required 5 stents. I bled for approximately 20 minutes as they applied pressure, but I now have 2 hematomas the size of golf balls underneath my left groin . I m on Plavix now, but my question is why do I feel so, so tired. I cannot stay awake. Every time I lay down I fall asleep. I m sleeping all day and night. I only have pain in my left groin where the hematomas are. I do not feel like eating and I m so very tired.

Hello & Welcome to HCM
In the normal course after angioplasty we apply pressure on groin to stop bleeding but some time because of large sheath and puncture bleeding continuous for longer time. In your case some time because of blood loss or medication that you receiving may be the reason for excessive sleep. It will be OK after some time.
Thanx for your query
Wish you healthy heart
