I am 85 years old and have recently ad two stents placed. Today my pulse rate is slow between 43 and 50. I have not been doing anything strenuous but feel a bit tight in my chest. Is this a problem that needs medical attention. I have a Glycerl Trinit spray - should I use it for this minor problem?l

Hello dear Lybrate user , hi
Warm welcome to Lybrate.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Any sort of chest tightness with 2 stents inside at 85 years , should not
be taken lightly , it can be angina or else .
Immediately rush to ER for EKG .
Hope this clears your query .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Welcome for any further assistance .
Regards take care .
