Sporadic Angina

If you are being treated for angina with beta blockers and nitro pills, wouldn't
you expect some consistency?  In other words, if chest heaviness occurs for a couple weeks tim
e but then goes away for several months wouldn't another ailment be responsible?  If angina is the
result of clogging of the arteries, that would be present all the time so
actually the angina should be present more consistently.  However, if it actually doesn't
happen for weeks at a time, I would think maybe we're talking about something
else going on.  Am I way off base on this?
