How To Treat Pain In Left Shoulder And Chest After Stents In Arteries?

I received two stents in the arteries around my heart six months ago. Eversince then I had this pain in my left shoulder and on the left side of my chest. There are still some times that I feel out of breath and pressure on my chest but I have stopped smoking and am eating healthy. Can it be my medicine. I use Aspavor 4mg, Plaxim 2mg, Disprin 100mg, Clopidogrel-winthrop 75mg and bilicor 5mg.

Hello,

If you were my patient, I would suggest you to go to a cardiologist and do a cardiac sonography and a stress test to see what the problem is.

It is not normal to feel pain after placing a stent, unless there was a small artery that has stenosis and a stent cannot be placed because of the small caliber.

The doctor will see what the problem is and do the right thing (one possibility is changing your medications).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
