Thanks for your question will help you in this regard,
Chest pain after angioplasty may occur it may be due to many cardiac and non cardiac reasons.
It may be due to coronary artery spasm after angioplasty or streaching of coronary artery by stent.
Ischemic pain may occur but its rare after angioplasty as you mentioned you have already been to your doctor,possibility of heart burn that's is gastro oesophagial reflux .. It also common on cause for chest discomfort.I suggest you to wait and watch as you already consulted your doctor if problem persist please get an opinion of cardiologist
