I had an angioplasty about 6 weeks ago and then a week later a dbl bypass and had no discomfort or problems....
I am sure each person must react differently....all considering my sternum is healing well as is the fact that I am breathing better and feeling better....My folks had stints in a year and two respectively ago... and both had different symptoms...Mom had some discomfort Dad none
Thank you for your comment. I greatly appreciate anything I can find out about any kinds of discomfort after the stent implantation. According to the doctor all I described in my post is ver normal but I can't find anything about that being normal from other sources. Thank you again.
I can't speak for everyone but I can offer what I clearly remember from having a stent installed.
Before the procedure I had terrible throat discomfort that I had been suffering for over a year. As soon as the stent was inserted and the catheter removed, I instantly felt the
discomforts disappear. I felt great, immediately and had no pains.
