Shortness of breath after cardiac stent

Question

Asked for Male, 51 Years

Hello, I had an angioplasty procedure 1 and a half month ago. For the first 20 days I was experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain once a while and symptoms went away after 20 days. For the last 4 days,I've been experiencing shortness of breath ( Sometimes while walking, sometimes while climbing stairs) not experiencing any chest pain. Is it normal? My next appointment is on 26th August. Can I wait till the 26th or is it better to visit the doctor now?. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
