Hello Doctor,My Husband is 40 yrs old and recently he had mild attack and two stents were inserted to his arteries. after a month he is complaining chest pricking like pain in the center of the chest. we took ECG it shows abnormal but sonography is normal. is there any serious problem?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry much for pricking type of central chest pain. Some amount and degree of pain is seen commonly after coronary stenting. It is normal. This kind of pain takes 2-3 months to subside. Since his sonography is normal, no need to worry much for his current symptom. In my opinion, you should wait for 1-2 months more. If he is still symptomatic (after 1-2 months) then we should rule out restenosis of Stent. So, don't worry too much at present. His pain will mostly subside. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
