If I understand your information, you had no symptoms 2 weeks ago, but the cardiologist implanted 4 stents at that time after a scan showed some plaque?  It is not expected, but sometimes the stent recoils causing restenosis, there could be a clot that has narrowed the vessel, the stent size inadequate, a different vessel is causing a problem, etc....a recent stress test negative?
