What Causes Inconsistent Breathing & Tiredness With A History Of Heart Disease?

My husband had a widow maker about 6 months ago and had a stint installed. Since then he is out of breath, extremely tired and doesn't feel good all the time. We have heard horror stories about a 1 year survival rate. Can you tell me if this is true. Thank you. He is 48 fairly good health, had heart issues as a child.a little overweight but not obese. Well thanks for making my panic about my husband dropping dead any minute put money in your pocket. HOPE YOUSLEEP WELL.

Hi
sorry but its very difficult to get what you men to say,please try to repost the question clearly again
however as far I understood he got a stent and pacemaker in his heart
extreme fatigue and breathlessness post ptca can be because of detoriated function of the heart
a 2 d echo should be done to rule out the cause of breathless ness
echo will tell us the ejection fraction of the heart and regional wall motion abnormalities in heart , a problem in breathing post stenting is indicative of low ejection fraction and regional wall motion abnormality
thank you
