Hi Megha,

 

I encourage you to see your primary care physician or cardiologist to run some tests that can determine how your heart is functioning and to see if treatment (angiography or otherwise) is needed.  Only your physician can run the appropriate tests to determine your heart health. 

 

Best of luck,
