Chest pain at any time needs investigation, but especially that pain that recurs after the discharge, as it could represent nothing and it could represent failure of the procedure. Please discuss the symptoms with your physician. If the chest pain sounds odd, i.e. unlike the pain that brought you to have an angioplasty in the first place, the doctor will most likely just check a stress test as opposed to going directly back to the cath lab. I hope you find this information useful.
