Respected sir/ Ma'm
Thanks for writing to HCM.
A jumping nerve like sensation which is transient ( However for any persistent discomfort or pain I would like you to consult your physician or emergency room (ER). Because so early after stenting, we are always cautious of a complication called "stent thrombosis", which must not be ignored. The symptoms of same will mimic your anginal symptoms prior to stenting.
Hope this helps.
