chest pain after stent

Question

in november 2009 i had a mild heart attack had stent inserted and dr. says everything should be fine and no reason for chest pain. however after a strenous walk or heavy lifting i do have chest pain that nitro elimanates, this is her report my question is should i be concerned about these other blockages?

her report
left main has mild luminal irregularities, lad with 99%stenosis in the proximal mid vessel with ulcerated plaque and thrombus present. the left circumflex has high obtuse marginal-1 which bifurcates and has 50% stenosis just prior to the bifurcation. after the vessel there is a 70% stenosis. rca with mild desease. mild anterolateral hypokinesis. thrombus aspirated and stented in lad. EF 50-55%
could these other blockages cause my discomfort

thanks, i was just wondering if those blockages in the small arteries could cause the angina. she says the arteries are to small to stent or bypass, thanks again for your comments

I am not very good at interpretations of the doctor's notes, but I do know that I have had a different type of chest pain AFTER my RCA was stented.  The chest pain I had that sent my to the hospital was very different, and that was BEFORE the RCA stenting.  This past April a lot of my chest pain was diagnosed as spasms.  But there is still angina from my other smaller blockages.  I take the Nitro Quick and Isosorbide to help with the chest pains.  The Isosorbide is a pill that is taken 3 times a day and is a nitrate. I also take a calcium channel blocker for the spasms.  It takes a little trial and error with the meds before you can find a remedy that works for you. It did for me. Continue to work with your doctor until you find some relief.  You could start with a long acting nitrate.  Ask your doctor.  Take care, Ally
