Ever consider talking to a cradiologist? I had high BP numbers, up in the range of like 170/94.My doctor put a stent in a year ago and been fine ever since.

That's great! Glad you caught it and had a fix. I've got mine under control, but not before it wreaked havoc on the kidneys. Ugh. It's interesting that you brought up a Stent. They found out, just last week, that I might be going that route. Will find out on Oct 10. Did the surgury go smoothly? Did they run a catheter?

Thank you for the well wishes. Putting in a stent these days is easy peasy. Depending on what the doctor dcides it's either inserted in your forearm or inside thigh. Most often it's through the forearm.

You're under whats called ‘’twilight sedation’’ meaning you're fully conscious but numb in the area where the procedure is being done. Mine was inserted through the forearm. Had a long recoup time though. A month but then I also have a pacemaker so I had to sit it out for a while.
