Hi there,
Thanks for writing in
I am a cardiologist and read your mail with diligence.
With the details, what I can make out that is being treated for coronary artery disease and hypertension. Please do not worry about the procedure of coronary angiography procedure as I gather it is scheduled. In pre procedure checkup, the operator makes sure that all avoidable causes which add to the risk of procedure are eliminated. So, please do not be anxious, it is perfectly safe procedure. You can specifically point to the spots you mentioned to your doctor and ask him/her whether it is safe or not.
If you have any further question you can write back.
Best Wishes.
