Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dizziness Upon Standing Up After Placing A Stent For Aortic Coarctation?
At the age of 18 I was diagnosed with Coarctation of the Aorta. After it being stinted I ve started having new problems. I often get dizzy upon standing up. When changing temperatures (A/C to outdoors in Texas) it often gets hard to breathe for a a minute or two while I adjust. Some days I have a sharp pain right in the center of my chest. Right after the stinting I had some lung inflammation but no other issues. Could I have a long term lung issue as a result of the stinting? It s been 5 months since surgery date.
I don't think this situation might be related to lung inflammation. It's more to heart problems.In my opinion I suggest you to talk with your cardiologist first and for the lungs just do a chest X-ray to exclude it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
