Hi..... I am new.

I just had my 10th stent placed a week ago.   Right now I am short of breath and have pain in my chest.   I've never had this happen before. Any help is appreciated.     Thank you.

You should contact your doctor as soon as possible.  The stent may have failed, or another occluded vessel.  Shortness of breath is very serious...when I went to emergency my first complaint was shortness of breath and the intake nurse stated that is all that is necesssary!

My goodness, I'm wondering if you hold a world record with 10 stents.
I fully agree with Kenkeith, except I would probably go straight to the hospital and tell them the problem. That way you get to see a Cardiologist immediately and let them assess you. Shortness of breath is not a particularly good sign.
