Hello again everybody .. hope you’re all keeping well and safe. I’m now 5 months post stent in lad which cardiologist described as severe .totally unexpected and sudden .. I’ve slowly increased my exercise regime but nowhere near anything like I used to pre stent .. after a good exercise day I struggle with extreme chest tightness . It’s like A very tight constricting band sometimes taking two days to ease off .I’m still on all the meds . I’ve spoke to cardiologist and he’s scheduled me for a ct scan with dye but could be a while due to the backlog. I also spoke to cardiac rehab yesterday and she says to chat to my doctor to try to tweak my meds or add something in. Yesterday I was cycling and had stabbing chest pain that eased very quickly with my gtn spray then after half hour rest I could carry one. .I’m 60 years old never been overweight but just last couple weeks my weight has increased around my abdomen altho I’m on a good healthy diet and active daily even on the day’s when I have a tight chest I try to do something light so never just sit around .
Anybody help with any tips .
