Is It Normal To Experience Short Breath And A Tightness In Chest With Stents?
Hello Doctor! I had five stent put into my heart eight months ago. Now, every time they do an ECG, the T-wave is inverted. I do suffer a bit form short breath and a tight chest from time to time. Could you tell me whether this is normal after the stents, eight months out? Thanks Pieter
Yes, the persistent of the wave may remain, many a times when you open the main arteries smaller side twigs get pinched causing the inversion, which if not dynamically changing should not be bothered about . However is high time when you can get a treadmill stress test, whereby if the symptoms you describe occur with exertion or a changes in your ecg with exercise, one can evaluate further based on the report of stress test Regards
