Groin pain

I hope everyone is safe and taking care. I had a heart attack in May 2019. I had all the tests that went with it my angiagram and scans showed up not too much damage, I just have to stick with the medication for now. The last couple of weeks I have been experiencing a sharp stabbing pain in my left groin, it was mostly when I was in bed and it woke me up, now I seem to be getting it during the day, does anyone think this could be heart related, I had a lot of tubes put through my groin when I had my attack while in Spain, there was a language barrier so I couldn't really ask why they were doing things.

I have had an angioplasty through the groin. It did leave a nasty bruise but nothing more. As it is a year on I would suggest you ring 111 for advice.

I ended up with a hematoma after mine, but as previously said 111 or your GP is the best answer.

Groin pain can be related to problems with your hip as well but see GP
