Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
In the setting of angioplasty and stent 5 years ago - any chest pain should be investigated as heart pain.
You need urgent ECG & blood test. If normal or no change from the previous ECG - you need TMT - Stress ECG, preferably with thallium isotope.
earlier the better ...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
