Mother had stent fitted - still feels slight chest pain and feels unwell

Heart health and blood vessels

hi there, 

My mother had a stent fitted at the end of March.

She kept having funny turns and feeling a slight ache in her chest.

After further angiogram at St Thomas's london, they fitted a second stent.

She is still feeling a little unwell. She keeps having funny turns - coming over feeling slightly dizzy.  She's getting a bit of an uncomfortableness in her chest, its not pain.

She's since been back to A&E and the cardio team have cofirmed her heart is fine and triponin levels are all fine.

Has anyone experience feeling quite unwell since having stent fitted etc.

i had a stent fitted six months ago, during the first six weeks there were episodes of aches in my chest, but looking back it was probably due to doing too much too soon, even now hurrying with heavy bags is a no no.  Providing you she is being told there is nothing wrong, maybe she is expecting too much and needs to take it easy for a bit longer,  Hope she is well soon

thank you Christine.

Yes, you're probably right - she wont' feel 100% straight away!

I also think she's getting a lot of anxiety around the whole situation which does not help.
