Thank you for everything! I had a stent placed in my LAD 4 months ago, went through cardiac rehab and did well, had occasional pain that would go away with exercise, told I have reflux and put on protonics, still have odd sensations. twinges and pains when stressed or overtired. Your notes helped as I know it is not all in my head by a small dose of xanax helps me relax when this occurs and I don't want to take it very often. I have seen other comments that it can be a year or more before a stent settles down and your brain accepts it.
