Hi welcome to HCM...

You have second time heart attack....

So in this condition heart can be damaged by necrosis that is irreversible ....
(In IHD)
Because of heart failure so heart can't pump forcefully and so there can be less oxygen to tissue and dyspnea can be there ....
It can also be from left side heart failure induce pulmonary edema...

So you might needs medication regarding that like diuretic and to prevent rethrombosis antiplatelet drugs might given ....
Take care ..

Consult cardiologist for examination and treatment ....
