What Does Shortness Of Breath After RCA Stent Placement Indicate?

I had an RCA stent placement 3 weeks ago. Friday i was seen in the ER for an abcess on my stomach and put on antibiotics. Today I am experiencing shortness of breath, which i had before the heart attack but seems worse today. I also have severe pain in my left arm there is a bruise and they tried to get blood from that location on friday. i am Type 1 diabetic. I have a blocked artery in right leg. worried about the shortness of breath, pain in arm, and cramping in right leg.
