I totally understand! I am a 70 year old woman, very active and was shocked when I had my heart attack! I had 5 blockages and they stented two. I expected to go back to normal me! I will tell you I had pains…especially a stabbing pain in back of my left breast for 4 months…I researched it and it’s called stent stretch…your arteries don’t like to be stretched. I actually went back to ER two weeks after the procedure because the pain was so scary. My cardiologist helped me by saying if I were to have another heart attack it would feel just like the first one! I highly recommend going to heart physical therapy if you have it in your area! You wear a heart monitor and mentally that really helped me! I am now at 6 months post procedure and no more pains and back to normal life! Good luck!
