How long after the by-pass surgery you had no chest pain ? Have you done any medical heart investigations after the by-pass surgery?
Do you suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol... and do you smoke?

If the chest pain and tiredness continue to persists you may need to to do coronarography to investigate if those stint and by-pass are blocked again or there are new blockages on some other heart arteries. If coronarography is OK like the stress-test then the pain probably doesn't origin from the heart.
You can consult some cardiologist about your condition.

Is there any swelling, redness, discharge or pain coming from the scar?

You might have some local infection on the skin above the sternum. You can consult your primary health provider to confirm or rule out this assumption.
