Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Chest discomfort can be due GIT prob, Chest prob or heart . As u having heart disease the discomfort can be due to disease which is not significant for stent can cause it, or chest infection after stent can be causing this one, if u were my I would like to do chest X-Ray to rule out chest infection n optimize heart med n ECG do to see is there any underlying pathology n echo to see how much heart is function n if needed will do Anglo n then will find the cause n TX accordingly hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
