I just developed a pain in upper left chest when I raise my arm over my head or when I lean forward while sitting. It has lasted all day. I do have 3 stents in my coronary arteries. I don t recall doing anything that could have stressed the muscles today or yesterday. Any ideas?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you already had 3 stents in your coronary arteries, better to first rule out cardiac cause for your left sided chest pain. Chances of stent stenosis is low but can be possible. So better to consult your cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. Coronary angiography if required. If both of the above are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. You might be having simple muscle pain. So take painkiller and muscle relaxant.Don't worry, you will be alright.
