I had a suprise attack at 4 a.m. Although there is a family history, I had no warning. The emergency services were excellent and I received 2 stents the next day and need a 3rd in a months time.

However since then my chest aches all the time. Is this usual ? I don't have a Doctor's appointment untill the 19th October. Should I be worried ?

Hi, my advice is get it checked out. A&E are great, i've been back 3 times since my attack on 31 July. They always state they rather see me if concerned.

BUT don't panic. I don't know your history but for me i have CPR trauma thus damaged muscle, cartlidge & maybe ribs! 9 weeks later but i still get on and off and still worry!

Take care.

Hope you got it checked out?

I went back a 4th time! All clear again & again they were so accommodating &then i'm relaxed again.

It takes time.

Take care

Hi I had 1 stent put in place back in Feb and every now and then I get a ache or pain in my chest. I was told that it's your body getting used to having the stents put in place. But like the previous comment go to a and e just for your own piece of mind. I know that it is easier said than done but try not to get anxious and worry it's going to take time.

Take care.

Always go to your doctors if you have worries. It doesn't matter if its nothing better safe than sorry.
