Palpitations following coronary stent placement may be attributable to myocardial ischemia or poor sleep leading to deficiency of qi and blood. Treatment may include oral administration of medications that promote blood circulation, unblock meridians, nourish the myocardium, and replenish qi and blood. Additionally, anticoagulant therapy is mandatory after stent implantation and should be continued for approximately one to two years. Regular hospital follow-ups are essential to monitor your health status, enabling early detection and timely intervention.
