It doesn't sound normal. You should speak to your doctor about it.

Best wishes

Hi

I cycle and visit the gym regularly so not unfit for my age however I had a heart attack in December 2020 and at the time didn't even realise it, as a result I had two stents fitted after a check up.

Since then I have had random pains in my chest and small stabs like electric shocks.

I went to the hospital again and the doctors checked for another heart attack but all OK.

They didn't really explain the random pains however this month April 2021 I can report that I feel better and the random pains have become less frequent almost gone completely.

I can only assume that it takes time the body to adjust to the operation.

If you're still worried please go back to the hospital and get checked out.
