Can I ride a roller coaster after having catheterization?
Patient: I am 52 yrs. old, 140 lbs., 5'71/2".  I had catherization 1 week ago, 2 stents and balloon.  I still have a 30% blockage where they ballooned.  I am going on vacation next week and would love to ride a roller coaster.  Is this possible or what is the risk? Doctor: As such no contraindication for doing such things but being a heart patient ...avoid such strenuous or much anxiety producing activity...beside I don't know what is your baseline heart function. On echo...So best person to guide u is your cardiologist
