What Causes Breathlessness And Exhaustion Post Placing A Coronary Stent?
I m 65 years old, last year I had a heart attack. They placed one stem in my RIGTH side main arterial artery. It showed 65% closed, but they said rest of them showed only 35% or less closer. My question is now I m having a lot of shortness of breath and low energy? Started about one month to six weeks ago. Should I be concerned about this and go to my heart doctor sooner than I m scheduled?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Conditions like congestive cardiac failure or pulmonary edema must be ruled out.
Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated.
An echo test and X-ray chest are required for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
