Hello,
What kind of chest pain, is it at rest or on exertion? How much is your ejection fraction?
Yes, we can't rule out the possibility of another blockages developing. Your shortness of breath may be cardiac dysfunction which can be known from echo. So if you need evaluation for the cause.
Also, medicines need to be optimised so let me the know the list of entire medicines which you are having so I can adjust.
You can have Tab Sorbitrate 5 mg sublingually and see if there is any relief of pain. If your ejection fraction is low then it's better to restrict fluid intake to relieve shortness of breath.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.
I find this answer helpful
