thank you and very pleased to answer you
General medical causes are also common causes of dizziness. A cardiac arrhythmia or myocardial infarction should be considered, specifically in this case under stent placement.
I urge you to take your husband for an EKG and blood troponine check at a cardiologist office.
May this opinion help you
best wishes.
