You need to be evaluated in details regarding your symptoms. I need to know about the details of angioplasty and your current medications.
You can consult me privately over chat.
Thank you

Any pains after angioplasty can’t be neglected . Need to go and do ecg if the pain is in central chest and it’s heaviness with worsening on exertion, walking , running or climbing stairs.. it may be associated with breathless and sweating . Your exercise distance and tolerance will come down
Next Steps
If such symptoms get ecg and show to nearby doctor if possible
