Hello and welcome to the forum! What tests did they do in A&E? Although you had a stent inserted 13 years ago it indicates you have CVD. You may have had an angina attack indicating restenosis of the stent or stenosis of another artery(ies) having reached a critical point. Further tests could be an exercise ECG and an angiogram if you fail it.

A few weeks before my bypass I collapsed with severe angina, dizziness and nausea. The resting ECG was perfectly normal despite four severely blocked arteries. I imagine the blood tests included one for Troparin which rises post HA. You need the further tests for an accurate diagnosis. Hope you do not have to wait to long.
