I am Mansor from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Age 66 years old.I was stented on 19 December 2022.

Until today i have not recovered. I still feeling dizzy and weak.

Is it normal and will take longer to fully recover ?

Just over a month isn't very long at all. I was told I should be up and about and back to normal within a few weeks, but in reality it was maybe 3 months. Even then it took 18 months before I had a day where I didn't experience chest pain.Also, your body is being assaulted by medication it previously wasn't familiar with.

Speak with your doctor about your symptoms, but I don't think it is unusual for recovery to be longer than indicated.
