hi,
Fever and cold may develop due to allergy to the contrast material given during angioplasty, but is very rare. it could also be due to a simple viral infection. any minor complaint should be accounted for, in this period and hence i suggest you to consult your cardiologist for these complaints and make sure you get treated if it is an infection.
Meanwhile, take some cold medicine and rest.
