Chest discomfort after heart cath
by franny51, Sep 08, 2009 06:13PM
2 weeks ago I went to the ER with pain down both sides of my neck, across the top of my shoulders and down both arms. I had a stress test and then had a catherization. I had a stent put in my left artery. I never had chest pains before and since the catherization I've had heaviness on my chest. I went back the day after I was released from the hospital and my doctor gave me a EKG and checked my blood pressure and he said I was okay. Is it normal to have this still going on?

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.
