What Are The Symptoms Of A Clotted Stent?

396545385 I am 41, and have had a series of heart attacks, a Triple bypass. 1 of the bypasses failed so now I have stent since October. I am on blood thinner, aspirin, metroprolol, etc. How can I know if mu stent is becoming clotted? I am PETRIFIED. Short of breath- weird chest pains but on RIGHT side. My heart attack was same exact pain only on the left side. HELP!? Symptoms ?

  1. clapper - The hearts job is to pump Oxygenated blood around your body. If you learn the signs and symptoms of poor oxygenation you can look for them in your self and your friends and family and people on the street .You should be informed about your health and make learning about it a goal. Worrying never did anyone any good. Have you stopped smoking and drinking alcohol.
    The symptoms of a blockage at the stent are the same as you have had before. I had a Valve replacement and every time I went near a hospital I thought they were working on plans to get me back in and operate on me again. Its 8 years now and I don't think about it anymore. Just give it time no one wants to perform surgery on you.an ECG will work and you must have had at least one so don't you believe them when they say your OK..
