post HA and stents

[Dolly1233]

hi

I’m back again I am 4 weeks post ha and stent and post 2 weeks from 2 more stents (see pic)

I had been feeling fine but now getting tight chest feeling and high up middle back pain and had to use my spray yesterday

Is this normal?

Hello

I am not sure if this is normal but it is early days and things need to settle

However if you do have any concerns you need to phone 111 and talk to them or if you find it gets worse go to A&E

Let us know how you get on x

I think this is a similar feeling to one I had, and sometimes still have. Was it relieved by the GTN spray? I had a real problem with using the spray initially, hoping I could 'beat this' without using it. I now realise it's there to help and not the enemy.

Talk to your GP if you aren't sure and get some reassurance

Hi, I had 2 stents and used gtn quite a lot, was put on isosorbide for angina type pain, tight chest, which has worked for me. Kev.
