Don't get breathlessness but at times feel chest is hurting That apart I am a smoker for 24 years...quit 2 months back ..non drinker and  never consumed smokeless tobacco . I had done 3 heart tests in 3 months..Ecg and stress test in April..2d echo last week and troponin I test 4 days back, twice . All test negative Pulmonary function test done 2 weeks back showed 85 percent lung efficiency. Do I still need to do any angiography ? Could this be cardiac or non cardiac pain.
