Guidance please

[Gordon]

I have had angioplasty on the right IJV, the Azigos is clean, and a 4 cm stent onmy left IV.

I am sleeping on an incline but when I get up, I generally take some time, a few hours to get my sea legs so to speak, especially my cognitive abilities.

Suggestions ??

Hi Gordon,

If you do a little searching, there was a thread not too long ago where it was discussed that some folks think that inclined bed therapy should be given up after angioplasty and stenting in order to maximize blood flow through the jugulars while horizontal.
