Visit a GP. If he suggests, visit your cardiologist.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HelathcareMagic.
I have not gone through the angiogram reports and therefore do not know the extent of partial blocks (if any) that might not have been dealt with by placement of stents. Pain due to compromised coronary circulation (blood flow to heart) could give you such a pain and your cardiologist could enlighten you on the possibilities of the same. However it is also possible that you are having gastroesophageal reflux or oesophageal smooth muscle spasm leading to similar presentation. Visiting a GP should help you identify and manage the problem.
