Stent procedure Dec 2022

[RK56]

Been experiencing short breath, ie I need the need to take deep breath quite often, the cardiologist suggested an angiogram as all other tests seems ok. I was explained that if in the process they will see a balockge of over and above certain % a stent will be inserted. In short I end up with one stent.

Been taking the medication on daily basis, had my ruiner checkups and blood test, other than a bit of high Gloucose all is normal.

Nevertheless in the past few days, the same symptoms returned ie, the need to take a deep breath associated with yawning .

Any ideas, ?!

I'm one of those that has clear tests, then angiogram shows blockage. It is very frustrating. Medication does help over time, but everyone is different. Fortunately you have a cardiologist that is willing to investigate further. All the best. Moni

That's good that he's willing to investigate further. After I had a heart attack I Obviously had an agiogram and 2 stents fitted. However they found two more blockages that they said were 65% blocked. That sounded bad to me but it didn't reach the level for stents. Now, 5 years later I've found it really difficult to find out whether those part blockages have worsened.. An angiogram is an invasive procedure and isn't done unless the doctor really feels it's necessary.
