Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. It's great that you got timely treatment, and now you are feeling well. Stent obviously needs care and if you take good care of it you will not be having any problems later in the future. Here is how you take care of your stent.1) Take medications prescribed by your doctor very regularly.2) Keep a check on your sugar levels.3) Stay physically active.4) If you are obese control your weight.5) Avoid smoking and high doses of cardiac stimulants like coffee caffeine etc. if anything is relevant.6) Pay regular follow-up visits to your doctor.7) Do not use any medication without prescription as there are many who cause side effects on your heart. If you follow these instructions everything should stay fine for you. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.
