Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare Magic...
* Brief Answer: your sleep disorder has nothing to do with your anti ischemics or stents . you need to control your blood pressure .
*Explanation: My opinion is that ischemic heart disease is a bit of concern.treatment of this condition is through anti ischemics , coronary interventions or surgery.excessive sleeping after coronary intervention is not related side effect.
I suggest my patients the following follow up blood pressure and see if they should take a medication.
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about other medications that may cause sleepiness as a side effect.
*Conclusion: I suggest you check your medications with your doctor.

If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
