Shortness Of Breath After Stent Placed In Heart. Have Tiredness, No Energy, Angina Pain. Reason?
Since having a stent placed in the right artery of my heart, I began to experience shortness of breath. It has continued for six weeks with visits to doctors and urgent care. A VQ Scan and Respiratory workup show lungs are clear and healthy, An upper G.I. showed no involvement of stomach or hiatal hernia interfering with activity of lungs. Cardiologist says my heart is not the cause. I am tired, feel like I have the flu, no energy, and have been experiencing some angina.
There could be a block in the stent or in a native vessel You need to have stress ECG / preferably with thallium isotope / for further valuation.. CT angiogram is useful to evaluate the anatomy... Discuss with your doctor – even repeating the angiogram may be necessary...
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
