My mom recently had an angioplasty and her doctor originally put her on Abiflo, but now they've switched her to Syscan. Since the switch, she's been having some issues like itching on her lips and face, plus there's some swelling on her left foot. Should we be worried about these side effects?

I've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?
