Hello,
You absolutely need to check with the doctors or look at the paperwork that all hospitals give patients upon discharge that have information that they need to go home with such as numbers to call if necessary, diagnosis, procedures that were done, and of course, special instructions.
The floor where you were hospitalized or in recovery after the angiograms should have a copy of the discharge instructions.
Typically, post-procedural instructions would include rest for the 1st 24-48 hrs. with light activities as tolerated from there forward.
They would also tell you to hydrate and drink plenty of fluids as well as take any medications you were prescribed. They probably then, would've told you when you should be following with either your primary or heart doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
