What Causes Constant Agina And Fatigue After Catheterizations?
12 years ago I had cabbage done with six grafts one later a stent. Then two years ago 2 more stents. After 4 heart caths and 3 stents since the end of March l am still experiencing angina on an almost daily basis along with fatigue. My current cardiologist told all vessels are clear how can this be if I still have chest tightening? Last night while at rest I had 3 episodes in about 45 each time nitro relieved symptoms . I am concerned there is blockage being missed and one of these times I won t come out of it. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Conditions like anemia or thyroid dysfunction can cause these kind of symptoms. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. A thyroid function test and complete blood count (CBC) has to be done. An echo test also be done to rule out abnormalities in the pumping action of the heart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
