Fatigue Three Months after 3 stents in my RCA

Hello all. I’m 65. I had 3 stents put in my RCA in mid June. For The first two months after surgery I felt good. I was making progress in cardiac rehabilitation etc. then, started having fatigue at about 2 months. Now I’m 4 months after surgery and getting extreme fatigue in the afternoon/ evening. I take a beta blocker, statin, aspirin and plavix. No changes in meds. I’ve seen the cardiologist. He says ‘ some take longer than others’ and it’s part of the process. I asked about the stents getting clogged but says that’s unlikely given the new drug coating. I’m getting a stress Echo in two weeks to make sure. But again, given the number is stents I have placed the doctor says it’s not uncommon to ‘ take awhile’ I not out of breath but very fatigued for a good portion of the day. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you. So I guess it’s part of the process. I just wonder if my meds need tweaking
