Hi welcome to HCM
Chest pain in your case could be related to Anxiety.Dont be anxious.Drugs like Anti spasmodics,Anti anxiety will be helpful to releive your pain.You should continue your present medications regularly as these will prevent re stenosis of your stent and also decrease your cholesterol level.so never stop the medications until your doctor advises.If still pain persists or becomes severe get an ECG and check angiography to rule out restenosis.Brisk walk for half an hour regularly.Restrict salt and spices.Get investigations like ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile,chest x ray regularly for ever 6monthsConsult your cardiologist for follow up and expert management.
