Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It sounds like you may be having angina. I agree that you need the angiography to see what is going on in your coronary arteries. Hopefully if there are blockages they can be repaired with a stent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
