1)Effort dyspnea is an angina equivalent
2) if after optimised medical therapy, symptoms persist, CAD evaluation is generally recommended
3) The choice of getting an angiogram is a decision that you, your family members and your treating doctors need to take. Complications associated with any invasive procedure will have its own risks.
4) I would recommend to get a basic blood work and a stress echo to start with
