Hello, If you are totally asymptomatic after exercise also then you can wait there is no urgency. Take medicines for now with penidura prophylaxis and review after the lockdown. In case of any queries consult online. Take care. Stay safe.

You can wait . However a reassessment at three months would be needed.
