### Human:\nis it normal to have high blood pressure after stent is put in. my blood pressure was high but controlled with medication prior to having a stent put in. now i am taking stronger medication and have spikes of very high blood pressure 187/92 two weeks post stent. prior to stent i had a fib and after electro-cardiac conversion i had congestive heart failure or pulmonary edema. after further tests they found a lower ventricle that was pumping only 25%. the stent brought it up to 50% which is low normal normal being 50% to 80%.\n\n### Assistant: hi if you have a heart specialist you really do need to take this up with him/her for the best advice. ok good luck
