Have you been back to your GP or cardiologist? It is not uncommon to continue to have angina type symptoms after PCI but the cause needs to be evaluated . Sometimes a change in medication helps.

Hello MyAbu

Welcome to the forum

As Hatchjd has already suggested there can be many different reasons for ongoing chest pain flowing a stent insertion.

I suggest you go back to your GP and ask for a referral back to see a Cardiologist if necessary for further evaluation.

Hi

Yes had triple bypass followed by stent this summer and feel much worse than I did before but think some of the problems are with the medications I’m taking so am adjusting them with my GP.
