HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given I could say that the symptoms of shortness of breath, light headache, in my opinion this symptoms need to be investigated again for the fresh infraction because you already have stent inside, so you nee to go and get done the test that includes, EKG, and Angiography, hope this information helps you have nice day.
