Breath rate of 20-22/minute
Hi, recently I posted about my husband, he had coarction of aorta due to the blockage in his main artery by birth. Also had air embolisms.
He got recently stenting for it and, thereafter we got his ecg and everything done, reports were near to normal.
2 months back heart function was at 65, this month he had 13 pg/dl troponin level.
Doc says things are normal, and he hasn't gone for a ecg this month, but his breath rate is fast, I noticed, it's not recent, but it has been this way post stenting, and he also takes short forceful breaths while sleeping.
He has a Covid history and has mild anemia.
What should I do? Any advice will be really appreciated.

You should get his complete cardio respiratory evaluation done. You can get a echocardiogram, chest, x-ray, pulmonary function test and HRCT of his chest.
