Could Dizziness And Nausea Indicate A Possible Sign Of A Stent Starting To Close?
In 2010 I had 4 stents placed in the R Coronary artery & in May 2013 had those stents cleaned out and 2 more stents placed in the same artery. Lately when working outside & bending over I get dizzy and have felt some nausea...is that a possible sign of a stent starting to close? Thank you

Dear patient,
Lack of flow in the right coronary artery can present indeed with digestive symptoms such as heartburn and nausea with exercise so yes, it is concerning enough that you should touch base with your cardiologist to determine further evaluation, which may be a stress test or another angiogram.
Hope that helps, wish you the best,
