Hello I am a wife of a recently diagnosed husband who has Coronary Artery Disease as of 2 months ago which was December 14, 2019 with his right side almost completely blocked. Top part was 95% blocked and the bottom artery was 99%. Last month we came to the Philippines to do an angeioplasty and he had 5 stents inserted with a temporary pacemaker but he was so uncomfortable because the ICU was ridiculous. Anyways, it’s been 3 weeks since his procedure and 2 weeks since the discharge and I wanted to ask anyone if it’s normal to have burning sensation during walks? He says it’s just burning but no pressure or tightness. He has heartburn medicine but it still doesn’t help. We have an appointment on Monday and He will ask his doctor but we leave on Wednesday the 12th of Feb 2020. We have no cardiologist back home. We live in the Northern Mariana Islands. I’ve noticed he’s more sensitive and I know it’s hard, but I’ve read that he isn’t the only one who has a hard time sleeping on the left side. Might I add to note I saw his first angeiogram and it looked ok... just the block spots (he is 34 years old). When I saw his recent it looked like someone twisted his arteries around and it was enough for his blood to flow. They managed to fix it here in the Philippines and place 2 long stents and 3 short. I am afraid of what to think of. He has changed his diet. He has been walking and taking all his meds. They’ve changed it twice and omg its a pocket burner but anything to help him. Is it normal to still feel pain? If so, how long should we wait to be concerned?
