General & Family Physician,  's  Response
My initial perception is that since you have been diagnosed with a single vessel CAD , its human nature to attribute everything to it. Fatigue and shortness of breath can also be due to the changing weather or anemia . I would advise you to start a moderate exercise program under supervision and also get your hemoglobin/RBC profile tests done. after that we can plan your treatment.

Thank you for your query and please get back to me if you need further clarifications.
