Can you tell me is it normal to suffer pains in the chest sometimes 3 years after a heart attack ?

No: Chest pain can be from the heart, or other causes. After a previous heart attack, you should assume it is from the heart until proven otherwise. Check it out urgently. Today would be good. Hope this helps!
