Hi welcome to Health Care Magic.
I have gone through your query & can understand your concern.
Most common cause for left-sided chest, shoulder and arm pain is Heart disease such as Angina pectoris, heart attack, pericarditis (collection of fluid around Heart) etc
As you had a heart stent done one month ago, so there might be some problem with that. So you should take isosorbide nitrate sublingually at first.
Consult your cardiologist as early as possible.
Hope I have solved your query.
Good luck
