Depends: Symptoms can range from shortness of breath or chest pain (especially with physical activity) to palpitations, lightheadedness, swelling in feet. Treatment will need some way to restore blood flow to heart muscle using bypass surgery or stents, in addition to medicines and lifestyle changes. Your cardiologist will discuss pros and cons of these options with you, so you can decide what is best.
