Answer:

(B) I may experience a little pounding sensation in my chest during the procedure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure used to diagnose and treat certain cardiovascular conditions. A long thin tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein in your groin, neck or arm and threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. The patient is asked to cough, hold breathe or breathe heavily for a short while during the process

It is also associated with low risk.
