What Causes Irregular Heart Beat After A Stent Placement?
My partner is 67 yrs old with old... he has had 2 stints in his heart with the last one being in March of 2016. 1st one 16 years earlier. Every since the stint was put in (the last one) he has not felt up to par at all. Multiple check ups & scans with all tests fine. He labors in his breathing & is on oxygen occasionally with the setting on 2/12-3 so he doesn t need it all the time. Just trying to give you some sort of picture but he s been experienceing irrattic heart beats. Pulse is every where from the 60 s to 110 in a minute.. taking his pulse is a slow normal beat then so fast you can t hardly keep track of the count then back to regular beats. He takes his meds... plavic, aspirin etc. I feel we need to go back to the heart hospital which we prob. Will but in the mean time don t know what to do for him
