What Causes Chest Congestion?
my wife had angioplasty with stent placed 2 years back. Now she complaints of chest congestion after a long distance ( say 300 km) bus journey. The journey was performed only 2 times in these 2 years . The congestion lasted for some days and now she is ok.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Your wife had chest congestion and now no symptoms ...
So nothing has to be done ....
In past your chest congestion might be from viral infection.....
When such inflammation is there CBC can be done to decide whether it is viral or allergic by looking for lymphocytosis or eosinophilia respectively ...
Regular exercise done. ..
As you have stent also regular check up for blood pressure and lipid profile done ....
Hope your concern solved .
