Not always: Typical angina is brought on or made worse with exertion, but atypical angina also occurs, which am have no pattern. Gastrointestinal discomfort is usually either brought on, or relieved by food intake.

Stress test: You need a stress test if you are worried about angina, but it might be useful to try an antacid like Pepcid (famotidine) to see if it resolves. Also yes, if it happens only with exertion angina is more likely.
