Can I Lead A Normal Life After Insertion Of Second Stent?

I just had a second stent inserted yesterday. I had a triple bypass 20 years ago and my first stent 10 years ago. I was told to resume my normal activities in two days. I am a 62 year old male that still enjoys sex every day so should I consider that part of resuming my normal activities?

Sex is very vigorous exercise. If you are able to climb a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath at all, your heart should, theoretically, be healthy enough for sex. Of course, if you feel any shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or palpitations, you should stop and seek medical attention.
