What Could Cause Pain In Chest And Arms With History Of Having Triple Bypass?

Hi, I had a triple bypass over a year ago due to severe arm and chest pain but I had no heart attack. I am still experiencing light chest pain and fairly strong arm pain when walking. The longer I walk the better I get. I never indulged myself in bad food and sodas. We always stay busy and avoid processed food. Thanks, Bob K Vackar
