Hi
My name is Fenella Engelbrecht
Since I have had a stent fitted I have been having night sweating, numbness in my left thigh,a build up of phlegm, especially at night and I have tightness of the chest.I have also been experiencing pain under my left breast.I don't know if this is normal because before the stent I was very fit , healthy and active.Now I get tired very quickly.
Thank you

I would suggest getting ahold of your doctor right away, I am not sure but why did they feel or tell you had blockages?

Sorry for the late response, I went to the doctor with severe signs of heart burn, said that I have severe acid reflux.
After 2 days of taking the medication, I felt worse,I went back to him with so much pain and burning in my chest,he gave me one look and said that I am having a heart attack.
After 2 morfine injections I was told that I have a artery blockage and need a stent fitted.
