Hello,
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor as soon as possible. Since, you are known case of coronary artery disease (CAD), left sided chest pain, breathing difficulty at night are more suggestive of heart diseases.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).You may need repeat angiography if any of the above report is abnormal. So don't wait at home, rush to hospital.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
