Hi, I had H.A. in march 2020 and stent,I still get pain on left of my back,I noticed that when I drank maybe a glass of water 3 or 4 times a day it got much worse, crazy as that may sound!!!so I drink 1 glass of water after my walk and tea throughout the day and the pain has gone for the past 3 weeks, I suppose we're all different and what works for one may not work for another....😊😊

Hi sorry to hear about your ongoing pain. If the pain is more noticeable or stronger when you move or exercise, then it may be worth discussing this with your cardiologist or GP. There are medications that treat angina. Nothing to worry about in the meantime. If the pain comes on irrespective of sitting or standing/moving, then most probably is muscular or even may be more aware of it post stenting. I hope that this helps.
