Hi I am new here, I have read about pains in chest , I get these often , I have had a stent approx.2 years ago I thought it was indigestion, but after reading I think it is now angina. I do not have a spray but take 6 tablets a day . Trip to doctors I think, any advice?

Do you get the pain while at rest or is it only when you are doing some activity?

As others have posted, you need to get it checked out, especially if getting the pains at rest.

Trip to G.P. me thinks. Thank you.

If you have the occasional twinge then a trip to the GP is advisable. If your pains are really uncomfortable you should consider a trip to A&E or a 999 call.
