Does Medication On Massive Heart Attack Cause Chest Pain And Breathlessness ?
Hello my father in law suffered a massive heart attack about a week ago.He is on medication now but complains about pain on right side of chest sometimes.Also he wakes up at night sometimes short of breath.Putting pillows underneath his head helps a little.

All medication given post surgery are to prevent further attacks and to maintain the patency of stents placed.
Symptoms could be unrelated to medications but could be due to stent reocclusion.
Please consult your cardiologist immediately.
