Dear Doctor,I am heart patient and got angioplasy five months back and got two stens. Now for three/four days I felt some uneasyness and suffocation. I am taking Prolomet R 50 in the morning and Ecosprin Gold 20 i the night. My age is 50 years and male. My email id is ahluwalia_ramesh @ WWW.WWWW.WW  Please advice as I am living in remote area and it will take time to consult my doctor at my native place. Thanks.
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor 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 undergone the angioplasty only 5 months ago, this can be a possibility, and you must undergo evaluation for the same. Please do an 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
