@ew100 Hi I wanted to jump in here . In 1996 I had a triple by pass. I had all the test that my cardiologist ask for but still had pain, shortness of breath so he sent my into hospital for a heart catherization which showed 3 arteries blocked 85,90,95% I was kept in and had the by pass which I'm so gratefull today for . So trust your own body if your still having symptoms advocate for yourself tell your Dr. and go for the catherization or you may have the alternative ,losing your life. Sorry to be so blunt but do as others have suggested .

Hi Im a 68 yr old woman and, I recently had an angiography with 2 stents placed and they were 80% & 30% in 2 clogged arteries. I was experiencing shortness of breath and occasional chest pain. They placed me on Plavix and I'm already on Eliquis too for a previous blood clot and Factor Leiden five blood coagulation. It's been a week and still experiencing a little shortness of breath. It's now a long road for diet and exercise. Both parents had fatal heart attacks. and any feedback would be helpful. It is so helpful to see others similar situations.
