hi all. that was on the 6 th of August. i was asked a few days after to do a repeat chest xray as one of my nipples showed on previous one . all went ok for the repeat xray but im still experiencing dryness in chest. it was ok yesterday and most of today but its moving in again. im able to walk but i feel it a bit. its not as bad at the moment as when blockage was present. i went to my consultant a few days ago and she looked at my echocardiogram and said it couldnt be a blockage. maybe its a side effect of the ballooning angio where the skin had grown too much in the stent. all very mystifying. also my consultant is on holidays for 2 weeks . so i may have to go to E.R. thanks for any advice. it doesnt feel urgent at the moment. chest is like i have a cough but theres no real coughing.
