I had a stent fitted after having a heart attack 3 years ago. I lost 45% of my heart function during the attack the moment the stent was fitted i felt great. Now I have intermittent pain maybee once a week just for a split second in my heart. Also acute shortness of breath episodes but no pattern. Anybody got any ideas

Make an appt with your cardiologist quickly. Neither of theses symptoms should be ignored.
