Hi,
I went through your query and will be happy to help you.
This is generally not related to stent or heart attack.
It could be due to infection or low blood sugar (if he has diabetes and taking medicine for it).
So kindly get a Complete blood count done and check his blood sugar.
Thanks and take care
