What Causes Heaviness In The Head After Climbing The Stairs?

hi doc I am 65 years. My problem is heaviness in the head AFTER climbing stairs, which settles down after 15-20 minutes. I had a stent put last year but this problem has been there for about 10 years. All other investigations are normal. Can you suggest the possible cause and treatment pl. Thanks VG

Your symptoms are suggestive of ischemic changes in the heart.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo,lipid profile,hsCRP immediately to confirm the diagnosis.Drugs like clopilet,ecosprin,atorvas will be helpful.Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
