Had 2 Stents Inserted. Have Pain In Right Side Of Neck And Jaw Pain. Normal?
I had 2 stents inserted a month ago. Today I started having shooting pains going up the right side of my neck. My original symptoms were shortness of breath and severe jaw pain. I'm female, 70 yrs old and obese. I'm on Plavix along with other meds. Is neck pain common after stenting? Should I be taking a full aspirin daily instead of the low dose one?
Hi, You are 70 years, had 2 stents inserted a month ago for short ness of breath, and severe jaw pain, Shooting pain on right side of the neck,as you have judged full dose asprin may help you. It could be an exacerbation of the heart problem, so i advise you to consult the cardiologist for follow up. Thank you.
