I am 3 months post stents and have no pain at all. I did have a CABG a couple of years before the recent stents. Meds are standard Clopi Dog Grel also known as Clopidogrel 75mg, Asprin 75mg Bisoprolol 7.5mg ( 5mg morning 2.5mg night ) Eplerenone 25mg, Furosemide 20mg once per day, Candesartan 8mg, and Omeprazole 20mg once per day. Night Statin is Pravastatin 10mg and I am managing pretty well ( I think ) Cardiologist again in August and Echocardiogram next week.
Have you started a new meds routine since your stents ?
I have been lucky with meds only problems have been with Ramipril, Cough. Spironlectrone ( spelling ) getting Boobs. and Bisoprolol cold hands. Swopped Ramipril for Candesartan and Spironlectone for Eplerenone which cured the problems !!!
All this Heart business takes a bit of getting used to I have been at it since 1982 ( 1st Heart Attack ) 2015 CABG X 2 RCA totally blocked so no point in bypass and then 2018 3 stents in the LAD which had previous bypass. I now feel pretty good overall going to Cardiac Rehab, Happy with Life and Confident of a few more years to go.
Hang in there, but should you feel not quite right, see your GP soonest they really are overall Pretty Dam Good.
Angina is pretty easy to control when diagnosed correctly,either GTN Spray or Slow release Isosorbide Mononitrate. You just need to get your head around it all, I know easer said than done, but the alternative is a life of worry !!!
I am on all the same medication as you plus a low dose Bisoprolol which I take in the evening.
I have had several funny feelings since starting the medication following my stent and have only just gone back to work on reduced hours.
I have become forgetful and clumsy as well as one of my evening medications and there are 4 of them making me instantly sleepy to the point my eyes feel so heavy and want to shut. Some may say that’s a good thing but it’s not if you’re tying to be sociable!!
I am having trouble sleeping and get aches all over and mine is worse mid left arm which I have had checked by cardio who say it’s not heart related.
I am not saying I felt great before the stent but this has really taken its toll on me personally and professionally and I know my loved ones love me but it’s teally not fair on them. I have become too conformatable with the safety net of home and yet I am normally always on the go and out and about.
Not sure I have really helped but hope they sort it for you soon so you can get back to feeling well and doing all you want to.
Take care and regards

Sorry can't help with your stents query. However, Atorvastatin - nasty stuff. According to my GP it's the first statin they try due to cost. I ended up struggling to walk due to horrendous muscle in my leg and having to use a walking stick together around.yGP changed me to Rosuvastatin and finally 6 months later I have very little muscle pain at all. Hope this helps
It's not just you by a long shot. I am in a group with people who have the same heart condition as myself. They did a survey recently and out of 2490 only 1 person could tolerate Atorvastatin
