Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your symptoms are typical of angina.
Recurrence of your Coronary Artery Disease is beyond doubt – either the native vessel or the graft might have developed obstruction. You need Angiography as soon as possible – with a view for possible intervention.
It has nothing to do with the shoulder injection.
See your cardiologist, as soon as possible. It can be safely managed like last time.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
