I'm really concerned because my dad had an angioplasty a few days ago, and they put in a stent. Since then, he's been having a really bad dry cough at night. The doctor gave us some medicine, but it doesnt seem to be making any difference. I'm worried this might affect his stent or his heart. Could this cough be connected to the procedure or the medication? What should we do next?

I'm feeling this fluttering sensation on the upper left side of my chest and it's like my breath stops for a moment. I've had an ECG and all that, and apparently, everything is normal. Do you think it could be acidity or something else?
