Hello. Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. I assume that the procedure was carried out via the radial artery pathway. Complications, rarely serious, are common when this procedure is carried out via this pathway. However, it is very rare that the problems persist for, I calculate, almost 6 months now. Did you suffer a hematoma at the function site, after the procedure? If the discomfort affects on your quality of life and work, I would suggest you to see a vascular doctor, to further evaluate your state, using echo Doppler of peripheral arteries, or other diagnostic means. I hope I was helpful. Feel free to contact me again. Take care
