Advice please

I had a heart attack two weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I have come home and over the last couple of days have had to use my spray a lot and also breathless. Should I be worried?

You should talk to your GP. It's very early days and no one on here can advise you medically. All I can say is that some of your tablets will have side effects but shouldn't cause chest pain. Ticagrelor is well known for making people feel short of breath but only your doctor knows how much damage your heart attack caused. I assume you had a scan before leaving hospital so that would tell him how badly damaged your heart was. If any of your tablets are causing problems, there are lots of alternatives. Stents can also cause pains in some people while they settle down and bed in. That can take several weeks. If you can't speak to your doctor, try the nurses at the BHF.
