Angina & Exercise ?

I am a 34 year old male with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and I had a MI 3 years ago due to a complete block of my right coronary; I also have an occlusion of the left circumflex.
I take no medication other than cholesterol lowering drugs (Atorvastatin and Cholestramine) and aspirin.
I find that I am able to manage fairly strenuous exercise (push-ups, digging, mountain cycling) without any problems during the exercise. However sometime afterward, usually the following day, and for a period of a few days I find that I feel very tired with a heavy feeling/tightness in my chest. What may cause this condition since it doesn't seem to fit the text book description of angina. Incidentally I regularly undertake light exercise with no problems whatsoever. Any suggestions with a physical explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.
