my father with age 66 has undergone angioplasty for 7 days back. he is suffering from somewhat huge pain in the chest side whenever he is on foot to toilet or small activity. is it a normal phenomenon or is serious?  nishi bhalla, faridabad india
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Some degree of chest pain is normal after angioplasty. This is because of prolonged sleeping and inactivity in the hospital. This will gradually improve with physiotherapy. So if pain is unbearable and more with activities, he should definitely be evaluated for heart diseases. So consult his cardiologist and have a look at stents whether they are properly working or not. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
