Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should get done1. 2d echo2. Stress 2d echo. Since you had stent and having high blood pressure, possibility of congestive cardiac failure (CCF) is high. And in CCF, angiography can be normal. Because it is related to function of heart and coronary arteries can be normal.  So angiography can be normal in CCF. To rule out CCF, 2d echo is must. And breathlessness with heaviness in chest is seen in CCF. So better to rule out CCF first. You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Strict control of blood pressure is must. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
