First day at work and a chest niggle

[RTCLP1]

Started my phased return to work today after being off for 5 months following my STEMI. All went well. Tried to remain calm and not slip back in to the previous frustrations of my job. All went well until I laughed and got a sharp little pain over the left side of my chest. I've had that little niggle before. It tends to last anything from a few hours to a couple of days.

I'm wondering whether that's my heart/muscles still recovering after having 3 angioplasties and 3 stents fitted (last procedures was two months ago). Is it possible that a stent can be felt in this way as it settles in, if that makes sense?

Yep. I had exactly the same. Went into panic mode, called 111 they sent an ambulance went to A&E. It's normal. But if your really concerned go speak to your GP, or cardiologist. You will then get answers from a medical professional and Peace of mind. Take it easy. 🤗
