heart stent after effects/nause & dizzyness

[mlydon]

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?

i had a stent fitted in July and i still get pains in my chest a lot its not the same pains as a heart attack,but it is a bit scary and uncomfortable,i get dizzy when i bend over and  light headed but  my throat is ok,i am beginning to wonder if i will every be back to as i was ,i cant do much as i feel dizzy and i picked my granddaughter up the other day and my chest started hurting i get pains all the time,does anyone no when these pains stop and  is the pains i am getting quite normal after you had a stent fitted?

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