heart stent after effects/nause & dizzyness
by mlydon, Sep 20, 2009 12:28PM
I had my first heart attack back in May this year which resulted in my having a stent fitted. I cannot shake off a continuing feeling of chest discomfort radiating to my throat and also accompanied by on/off nausea and dizzyness/light-headedness but no actual chest pain like the attack. Does anyone else have this? I have been blaming it on the cocktail of drugs that I am taking but dont know if this is correct. Can anyone advise?

The throat discomfort sounds like angina. Does it get worse when you walk around or exert yourself in any way?
