I have Coronary Artery Disease, Angina and Lupus and for three weeks now I've been having coronary artery spasms averaging 1-2 spasms every hour. I spent 6 days in the hospital and was just discharged 2 days ago. After many, many EKG's that were normal (except one that showed activity of spasms), and having 2 more stints placed in one of my arteries (now totaling 5 stints), my cardiologists are still puzzled and confused as to why this is happening and why they won't stop. Since my discharge, I have taken at least 8 nitroglycerins to stop these spasms along with taking my new RX of Norvasc and Prednisone. August 4, 2010 I had double bypass surgery followed up by placement of my first 3 stints November 5, 2010. Everything was fine with my recovery for the past 7months until now-when the spasms started. My question is, Why won't these spasms stop, and what made the spasms begin in the first place? I'm afraid to exercise or do any exertion in fear of these spasms. I don't want to be confined to the bed...that's no way to live.
