Discomfort In Chest, Dizziness, Unable To Walk Far. Stent Placed Recently. Suggestions?
Hi, I just had a stent placed on my left coronary artery. It was a saturday, on sunday I was home. the following monday I went to the supermarket and walk alot. when I returned home I felt some discomfort on my chest. the next day (tuesday) I went back to the supermarket but this time I had to stop walking in the middle of the supermarket and had to get on a wheelchair to go back to my car where my wife, took me home. Now I feel dizzy and not able to walk very far within my house. what could be happening?
See your doctor soon... This is angina – spasm, dissection or block of the stent or native artey – need urgent evaluation. Low output and/or arrhythmia may be responsible for the dizziness... You should see your cardiologist immediately
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
