General fatigue and: weakness are known side effects of clopidogrel (Plavix). Other potential causes could be the procedure itself sapping your strength, a post-procedure complication like a blood clot (unlikely though could happen in spite of blood thinners), and kidney failure following numerous CT studies with contrast. I recommend to get a general checkup from your primary healthcare provider right away.

I would say yes-: -especially since it’s only been 1 week. Any procedure will effect you similarly. Also sounds like you are pushing it too soon.
