I am 85 years old and have recently ad two stents placed. Today my pulse rate is slow between 43 and 50. I have not been doing anything strenuous but feel a bit tight in my chest. Is this a problem that needs medical attention. I have a Glycerl Trinit spray - should I use it for this minor problem?l
