A member asked:

Why everytime im upsit my chest hurting? it was a werd chest pain, recently i undergo a stent in my heart? i am heavy smoker and i try to stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Angina: People who have coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in heart) often get chest pain with physical activity or emotional upset. This is called angina. The symptom you are feeling could definitely be coming from a blocked heart artery. You need to do 2 things: 1) tell your heart doctor about your symptoms. 2) quit smoking, or you will definitely be back for more stents, or worse. Good luck.
