Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
But since you are having previous heart attacks and stents, better to first rule out heart diseases.
So first get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Then musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
