Ask the doctor: Why do I get chest pain when I don’t warm up before exercising?

I work out regularly, but suffer from exercise-induced angina. If I start exercising without warming up, my chest starts to feel “tight” quickly. If I warm up properly, I can walk for several miles at a pretty fast pace without any pain. Can you explain?
