What Causes Difficulty In Breathing After An Angioplasty?

sir,
My husband is 56 yeras old.weight 80kg.undergone angeoplasty in 2004.medical stent put. His stress test always shows ecg changes ,but doctor says it will show it even after plasty and it is okay. He is taking medicines for heart,high bloodpressure and cholestrol.
From say 1.6 years , he is having some problems which I notices....1)while chanting *aarti* that is ,*mantras* when u have to chant long lines in one breath, he has to stop in between.
2)Sometimes in his sleep, exhales through mouth
3)unsound sleep
4)feels like eating every now n then
5)for last 6 moths has started chewing paan-parag,with tobacco
and cannot resist it,though in limit
6)last 4 moths gets irritated every now and then at anything .gets angry very fast which is contrary to his nature
7)his teeth r really bad with this chewing tobacco habit.someone
also suggested me to get ENT check done for him as oral hygiene is very important .also his father died of CANCER and mother of HEART ATTACK. he knows that chewing paanparag with tobacco is bad but cant control.
8)his postlunch blood sugar is less than fasting sugar level.
Please advise.regards
