“How long after a stent can I resume normal activity?”

After a heart stent procedure, it is common for patients to resume normal activities gradually. However, the exact timeline may vary depending on individual factors and your doctor's recommendations. In general, most people can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the stent placement. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor, as they may have specific guidelines based on your condition and the type of stent used. It is also advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting for a period recommended by your doctor, usually around 1-2 weeks. Always consult with your doctor for personalized advice regarding resuming regular activities after a heart stent insertion.
