This is not something that you want to ignore.  I should hope by now you have conacted your doctor. Take care, Ally

I agree with Kenkeith, have it looked at by a professional. If a clot has formed this can be very dangerous should some of it break free.

Sometimes the site of the vessel entry for the cath can cause a problem.....clot or infection.  See your cardiologist for a followup visit to rule out any problem from that procedure
