I've had coronarography before 3 days, the
doctors find out that I had my right
coronary artery 99% blocked. I had a stent
implanted - with opitmal result but I
still have pain in my chest sometimes and
some kind of heaviness, not all the time
but one in a sudden. I want to know is
that normal, shall I go in the clinic
again. Are these symptom normal or
dangerous. I worry about it.
Thank you!

It is likely that your condition now is
much better than before
stent-implantation. Having chest pain and
heaviness SOMETIMES and ALL THE TIME is
not the same. The remaining symptoms could
be due to persistence of other less severe
blockages in the coronary arteries that
don’t need stent-insertion or
angioplasty for now. Chest pain can be
also due to the sudden spasms of the
coronary arteries. If chest pain becomes
unbearable you can visit the
cardiology-clinic again.
