Hi,
If you want not to have problems during traveling, you should be as stable as it is possible.
If you still have frequent chest pain, you should visit your doctor to increase your medications' doses.
If you have high blood pressure it should be controlled before traveling.
Also your heart rate should be stable.
And try to avoid dietary changes and big climate differences.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
