Hello and welcome to the forum! It is more than likely a strained muscle or trapped nerve. This can take a long time to heal particularly if you do not rest the area up sufficiently.

Was the ECG a resting or stress one? Resting ones are of limited value where CVD is involved. Despite four arteries up to 85% blocked and angina my resting ECG was normal. If yours was a resting one you could ask for a stress one to confirm whether there is an issue or not.

Hi you don’t explain what treatment you had prior to the pains. However if it’s post stents then I’ve had them for 2.5yrs, bad and first then come and go. No one can give me an explanation.

I’ve had stress tests been to A&E etc.

Comes and goes and by and large ignore them. Though I had a recent spell that got me all worried & ive laid off my excercise for now. Seeing cardiologist for check up on Friday, I suspect he’ll say same as ever and refuse to give stress test.

The complacency bothers me more!

Give it time

Sounds like a heart issue. It could not have yet came on to ur heart. I’ve had that before or I’ve have colds that affect my chest wiv a heart condition I believe that’s normal.
