Hi
a person who underwent angioplasty , taking medicine regularly , normal level of cholesterol , and walking 4 km / day without any issue during walk , i strongly feels its non cardiac pain , if your echo and TMT test is normal then no need to do thallium test
take simple analgesic for 2 to 3 days ,
take your cardiac medicine regularly .
take care
