Can Nitro Tablet Be Taken For Shortness Of Breath After Walking A Short Distance?
I m feeling very out of breath just from walking a short distance (300 feet). I had a stent implant this past April and take all my required meds daily. Should I take a nitro tablet if this happens again? I plan on seeing my Dr or going to the ER very soon

Hello,
You might have mild heart failure which is common if you have heart disease ( as per your stent implant you mentioned). I suggest you visit you doctor who will examine you and may order blood tests and a chest x-ray.
Kind Regards
