Hi Giggsy123I was exactly the same 2 stents and lost 20%. I was getting a lot of stabbing pains for a few weeks and then settled down.

I started getting more chest pains when I wasn’t doing any strenuous work. After lots of consultations the doctor upped my Lanzoprozol. I was very sceptical as I wasn’t getting any stomach pains at all. But I’ll put my hands up it did the trick and the chest pains eased off after a couple of weeks.

On a positive note I went back for an echo a few months back and my heart had improved by 5%. In 12 months.

Hope you get sorted!
