Open Heart Surgery

Hey I'm am about to turn 23 years old and i had open heart surgery when i was 20.. I'll say i havent worked out like i should but im young and small type of guy so its not like i really bad out of shape. My heart may be out of shape though. I still have chest pains like a clinching pain then all of a sudden its like a relief. It squizes tight then lets loose. I think alot of it may be do to stress of school and girls etc.. whatever is on my mind because i stress about things what can i do to make this pain go away?? I really dont want to have it the rest of my life.. If u could email me the answer. I'm just looking for answers i had a stress test and another echo but they said its fine. I had a really big hole that they fixed. These pains kinda effect my mood and day.
