It appears that stents affect different people in different ways. Some people feel nothing, others feel a discomfort. From experience, I had a stent put into my obtuse marginal 2 years ago and felt nothing. I had no discomfort at all. This week I had 5 large stents put
into my LAD and I can say this has caused a large discomfort down the left side of my
chest, like a pinching deep inside. I've been told this will subside after a few weeks. On
top of the pinching, I am finding heaviness in my chest also, like it's difficult to draw air
into the lungs. Apparently this symptom will also vanish. I would leave it for a few more
weeks and see how it goes, unless you get serious chest pains in the meantime of course.
