Hi there
I understand your concern for your husband health and i would like to tell you that the symptoms that are produces by blockage of a stent are the same that occurs while a heart attack like
1. Central chest pain or heaviness
2. Radiation of the pain to the inner aspect of left arm or shoulder or in the neck below the jaw line.
3. Breathlessness, sweating, sense of doom
4. Vomiting
5. Giddiness
His BP is fine. No there are no medication that can be taken by patient himself to take out the block.
Just make sure that he follow good lifestyle habits and take his medicines on time.
I wish him good health
