I have asked this question before and I apologize for asking it again, it's just that I've lost my notes... So the ? is what should I do before I go to see Dr. Siskin for the angio? What tests should my Gp do and then what should be done afterward, tests, meds? :) :lol: :)

I don't know what pre-angio tests Dr. Siskin does there but if your GP would order a coagulation panel on you testing for various clotting disorders that would be good to know in advance.

A doc recently did so on me and they pulled 13 tubes of blood to it's a pretty in-depth panel if you can get it.
