Hello
Welcome to HCM
After an angioplasty there is a 5-7% risk of a restenosis or narrowing of the stents till the first six months. Since you have underwent the angioplasty only 5 months ago, this can be a possibility and you must undergo evaluation for the same. Please do a ecg and a treadmill test which can suggest stent narrowing. Please visit your cardiologist with the above results. If the cardiologist clears you, please do a pulmonary function test to see whether this is more of a breathing issue than a cardiac one.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
