Call cardiologist: some discomfort could be normal, but best to call the angiographer/invasive cardiologist on call for whoever did your procedure

Chest pain: No. You aer at risk for a heart attack. Given your recent history re:stent, take a 325 mg aspirin and go to the ER NOW!

Call your TX Dr.: I can only assume the Cardiologist who did your Angioplasty gave you their contact information. It is most important for you to all them ASAP, as they know your case best and could determine with better certainty the nature of your issues. However,if you can't reach them ASAP, then you should go to the ED as chest pain, even after angioplasty/stent placement needs to be evaluated ASAP. Good Luck.

See my remarks: This could very well be part of the procedure you had. It behooves you to call the cardiologist who performed the procedure
