ā€œDoes blood pressure go down after the stent?ā€

I will get a heart stent. Does blood pressure go down after the stent?

The stent will not make your blood pressure go down. Iā€™m sure your doctor will make suggestions about lifestyle changes. Exercise weight loss and a better diet will help to lower blood pressure. You might want to ask your doctor about a referral to a cardiac rehab program which will help with those lifestyle changes. Good luck!!
No unless there is complication which is rare in modern days
