How To Treat Difficulty In Breathing After Having A Stent Placed On Artery?
after having a stent placed in an artery and medication for another artery that was 30% blocked, I feel like I can't take a complete breath (not short of air) and I'm very tired all the time. No history of HTN or hyperlipidemia. I stopped smoking over a year ago

Hi,
You should see your doctor for full evaluation as 30% blocked artery can't caused such symptoms, and the other artery is already treated with stent, which shouldn't cause any complaints.
There are three possibilities
1. You have problems with inserted stent, for exclusion you will need ECG and/or stress test
2. Your complaints are caused by the medications you take
3. There is another problem, which is not related to the heart.
So you need to see your doctor to find out the cause.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
