I think you should and as soon as possible. I had an angioplasty in October 2011 and have not experienced any problems since, I used to find it a little uncomfortable initially lying on my left side in bed, but do not experience any issues now. You need to talk to the professionals and get them to investigate urgently.

I. Don't think the doctors will think you are bothering them, is the pain a regular thing or has just come on, I would phone an ambulance especially if it has just come on,

Other than that make an appointment for your Gp tomorrow.

but everyone is different, see your gp if only to reasure you good luck.

At the A&E where I had my chest pain...the Dr said "Never take ANY chances with chest pains"...your GP will totally understand...why put your life at risk for a consultation that your GP would be grateful to give you...go NOW!!!

Go now i had twelve stents put in over period of time, still ended up with bypass surgery, chest pain is not normal get it checked out

If your chest pain is dull and pressing, it is your heart telling you that it is struggling. No, it is never normal and needs to be treated immediately.

Interestingly, if it is a sharp pain, it isn't your heart.
