What Causes Breathlessness, Dizziness And Chest Pain?
I have had quite a few stress breathing tests with no apparent results, I have just had an angioplasty. In the last I have had trouble breathing and catching my breath. I have had MRI - no Cancer, But to this day I cannot walk a block without losing my breath, Coughing and complete dizziness to the point of blacking out. I still have chest pain, Shoulder and Left arm numbness and I always feel short of breath to the point I think I should have oxygen.

Dear user,
let me know since how many days you have troubled breathing post operatively? You may experience mild chest pain or ache following angioplasty and stent insertion, especially if several stents were put in place.This can take several weeks to settle. Tingling and numbness could be due to effect of local anaesthetics and will settle after few days. These things will be settled down gradually.Please take medications as prescribed by your doctor on regular basis.
Regards
