My goodness how lucky have you been, I had a heart attack in October last year and had five stents fitted into one artery, the other is OK at the moment the biggest reason for this was smoking tobacco which of course I gave up immediately after smoking for over 40 years. I wish you all the very best, get plenty of exercise, eat well and properly, plenty of green vegetables more so than fruits and look after yourself you are a chosen one for sure how are you feeling?

Hi,

You may need an electro cardiogram, echo cardiogram, angiogram and may be a CT scan.

Angiogram helps to identify, if you need any stent, angioplasty is the procedure for stent.

Please let us know the findings from the chest x-ray.

Good luck.
