Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It's not that urgent get it done in a month or two. You have many risk factors like DM, HTN, and you are having positive ETT. So, it's better to exclude any pathology. I hope you are using lipid-lowering drugs and controlling your sugar and blood pressure well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rehana Kousar
