I welcome you to healthcare magic for your health concerns
I am Dr Fahim and I will be looking into your problem
I have gone through your question and understood you concern. Since you had angioplasty and then on bed rest. Swelling in leg in such patients hints towards DVT (deep vein thrombosis), which is a blood clot formation in the veins. It’s a serious condition and leads to many complications. We need a Doppler Ultrasound for the deep and superficial veins of the legs to give us diagnosis. I think you need to see your treating physician, who after investigation which will include Doppler ultrasound, D Dimers and some other test, will make a diagnosis and guide you accordingly.
I hope my answer will help. Do rate if you like it.
Regards
