What Causes Sweating While Having Metal Stents In Blocked Arteries?
Had heart attack 3 years ago and metal stent put in and got along fine until about 3 months later and started sweating and almost like hot flashes but had tests done and the metal stent had grown scar tissuse in and around so had to have a medicated stent put inside that one...been doing fine until few days ago and doing this sweating again...I am 76. Could this be plugging up again...
