Hi all i had a stent fitted 16 May 2023. As of yet i have not had follow up check up with cardiologist. I attended cardiac rehab clinic once, a few weeks after stent procedure...no follow up after that, just phone calls from rehab nurse.On several occassions i told rehab nurse (on phone) sypmtoms that emmerged about 2 wks after stent ie discomfort over entirs front of chest, tight band feeling under breasts, breathlessness. My right hand was constanlty massarging under breasts and middle of chest.
I read some posts on this forum about post stent issues and was reassured when i read that these symptoms would resolve given time.
However, my symptoms remained to this day. They ease off when i lay down. Hot water bottle also helps ease the discomfort. Lol I walk around with it tied to my chest.
I am pushing for post stent follow up.
Question is in what way can stents go play up, what tests are done.
Thank you in advance
Have a rewarding day
