I have had a coronary stent put in after an 80% blockage of the right coronary artery. After about 10 days I started getting on and off chest pain with exertion and even sitting in a chair for a length of time.  After lying down it seems to alleviate it. I went back to cardiologist and had blood work and nuclear stress test done, which all came up negative. it has been 6 weeks and I continue to have this chest pain several times throughout the day. Should I go back to the cardiologist for another angiogram?

Usually low blood pressure is not of any concern and often considered helpful.  It is a problem if there are symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, etc.  The link given may be of some help, if not you are welcome to followup on this thread.  Thanks for sharing and take care.
