Is It Normal To Get Thigh Pain After Heart Catheterization?
Hello, I am a 25 year old female recently diagnosed with SVT. I had an EP test done 6 days go with a heart catheter put in my right femoral artery. Like i stated this procedure was done 6 days ago and I am still having pain in my groin that even makes my thigh ache. Is this normal? Should I be concerned and call my Cardiologist? Please help.

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that pain after cardiac catheterisation can persist for a week to 10 days , you can use ice pack to lower the discomfort
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
