How long after the heart stent do you feel better?
I will get a heart stent. How long after the heart stent do you feel better?
1 Answer
Physically, you should feel fairly quickly. Depending if the stent was placed through the leg or the wrist, the access point can cause pain for a brief period of time. The heart, itself should not take long to recover, if the stent was placed for a blockage and not emergently, for a heart attack. Recovering psychologically, however, may take more time. It is quite traumatic to understand that we are mortal and that our heart required intervention.
