Hi ,
Welcome to HCM ,
from your history its look like non cardiac pain , if stenting is done with good result usually heart pain will subside but many patient may fell some pain, prick sensation at chest ,
do not panic ,
take your medicine regularly ,
adopt healthy life style ,
eat good healthy food ,
avoid smoking , limit alcohol intake ,
stay calm and stress free ,
if pain still persist then consult your cardiologist and follow his advice ,
take care
