Hi there, I'm sure there will be others along. I've had 6 stents fitted in the last 3 months and I don't feel any of them but I do get hyperalert to any minor twinges in my chest or back which is just part of normal life so just have to remind myself everything is OK when that happens.

I’ve got 8 stents and like has already been said get odd twinges in my chest and back but accept that as normal given said stents. You should consult your GP/specialist to discuss your situation having ongoing concerns and anxiety attacks.
