Could Inflammation In Chest Of A Heart Patient Be A Matter Of Concern?

My husband (age 72, smokes a daily cigar) had 4 heart stents inserted 8 years ago. His chest hurts periodically and his VA dr assures him it is inflammation. Today it has hurt a great deal more than normal though he says it is the same kind of pain. Should we be concerned?
