Hello,
In few patients rarely after stenting may present like contrast induced meningitis or aseptic meningitis. Hives may be due to drugs or contrast allergy.
If you're feeling dysnea or headache or itching or oliguria you may go ER for to prevent anaphylactic effects. Anti-histamine and corticosteroid may helpful in this condition.
Please consult your ER doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
