Ask the Expert: Safety of Stents

[@amazingthingsfromaroundthe2057]

Im 46 years old. I had 3 stents put in yesterday. One of my arteries was 99% blocked, the other was 95% blocked. I went in for the angiogram test and they almost wanted to do a bypass surgery on me. I am home now. I was having chest pain and shortness of breath. It all happened very quickly. Im still kinda in shock. I think I was on the verge of having a heart attack any day by the way the Dr explained it to me. Im still very scared.

[@Peter-xg5fq]

My two stents are 10 years old, best not to think about it, but, walk as much as you could. Aspirin 81,slow down heart by Bata blocker and control high pressure.

had two stents fitted in my heart, One in my left artery and one in my right artery, The difference is amazing, I cycle seven miles everyday on my mountain bike up the hills and go running on the tread mill three times a week, My arteries had narrowing due to plaque build up but having the stents fitted as transformed my life, I have changed my diet to a healthy one and had the one hour procedure in hospital while i was awake, I must stress i did not have a heart attack but was getting discomfort in my arms and across my chest if i did anything physical, Kind of a dull pain which went away when i rested, The Cardiologists saved and transformed my life, I cannot thank them enough and i am very very grateful.

@@Rahulbajaj561 I am feeling great after one year after having my stents fitted, Eat healthy, Cut out the saturated fats and junk food. I eat lots of vegetables, salmon, nuts, porridge every morning and foods low in sugar and fats. I still have a treat now and again and take regular exercise daily .

Thanks for the info. Question: I am highly allergic to metals - would that preclude ;me from ever having a stent???

[@icu64]

Do any of you get dizzy and nauseous when ever you walk or do exercises. I have anxiety attacks and get depressed. I have no energy or strength to do 4min of work. Sweating badly. Used to be a boxer, worked hard before. My memory is shocking. Can't retrieve phone numbers. Feel very unsafe to drive my car. Bedsides getting bone Pain and sleepness. Got one stent in and feel crap. Every morning I can hear blood flow gushing sounds like a hose being linked slowly, makes me feel sick and dizzy. Help

Find a chek practitioner in your area, it might be hormone related, they will do a better job at finding the root cause

[@AndreOutlaw]

I just had a stent put in a couple of days ago. I was suffering from sudden chest pain almost daily. They found a 95% blockage in my left main. I already feel better and can walk up the stairs in my house without being out of breath or having my blood pressure shoot up. Which reminds me. My BP would suddenly shoot up to the 200's for no reason at all then the chest pain would start. My first trip to the hospital resulted in them just giving me a ton of BP meds which didn't seem to help after a few months. I already feel better and after a couple of days I'll be out and about walking around again.

[@ForJustice208]

[@jakethompson4962]

1% is not low risk (1 in 100) You also mentioned 90% of the time ... that means 1 in 10 have a problem. What about the Courage Report which concluded stents do not prevent heart attacks? I consider 0.1% as a fairly low risk, not 1%.

Is it ok to do weights with stents? What’s the highest BMP for a person with stents?

[@captaindrywall]

Highest bmi? 25 best stick with fat percent if you lift heavy. What you do for exercise depends on your heart condition. I have three stents but no heart damage. I do anything I want to. Ask your doctor but let me warn you they don’t know jack shit. I was morbidly obese my stent doc said don’t worry about your weight. Stupid advice

[@puiasailo9831]

Is it safe to excersise after stent placement? My dad got one a few weeks ago...what are the chances of plaque forming up again?

[@robbyrocks3665]

Did u not listen to the doctor in this video ? Exercise, & blood thinners such as aspirin, ir Plavax help keep blood thinner after an event.

[@bigwu100]

And the stent should be the medicated type which is to prevent clothing or white blood cell attacking your stent.and yes plavix and aspirin. As for exercise he told me to walk daily. I was 57 when I had my myocardial infarction. Wasent a very painful attack. Just made me feel poorly. I was driving a semi truck. Went to hospital the following day.

[@babartahir9004]

If you know theres 70% block, you aren’t also taking care of yourself. If you want to wait till it’s 80-90, you might not get chance, 1st heart attacks could kill or severely disabled you. They found mine at 90% with almost no symptoms (I was lucky)! In the long run u (we)have atherosclerosis, if u don’t fix it with diet & exercise stent(s) will not help.
