Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and welcome to EmpowHer. Flu shots are recommended for anyone that has heart issues and stents. I found some information for you here http://www.cardiosmart.org/ManageCondition/Default.aspx?id=916.
If he is experiencing pain, I would certainly call his treating physician about the issue for follow up. I hope this information helps. Please keep us posted.
