Heart stent

[Fahim91]

Hi can anyone help me with dis feeling.

I had 3 stent one month back. Had a followup with doctor a week back. He told I am fine.

I have pain in chest occasionally and some shortness of breath.

After I had my stent I noticed every phantom pain. However, I had a heart attack and I know what that feels like, and phantom pains are disconcerting, but different. If you have not had an echocardiagram, I recommend it. It will tell the doctor whether you had any actual damage and how effectively your heart is working.

Hi.... hope you feel better. I had a stent fitted and every little ache or pain I associated with the stent! I was reaching for the tongue spray every 5 minutes. That was 5 years ago....so it will get better over time. Be patient, calm is good. In Shala.

Did you have a heart attack? What medications are you on? Sometimes people get stretching pain from the new stents. These can hurt in varrying degrees.
