Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Some degree of chest pain is normal after angioplasty. This is because of prolonged sleeping and inactivity in the hospital.
This will gradually improve with physiotherapy.
So if pain is unbearable and more with activities, he should definitely be evaluated for heart diseases.
So consult his cardiologist and have a look at stents whether they are properly working or not.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
