Should I go for CT angiography Test?
I have been on bed rest for 18 months and had 400 cholesterol for 6-7 years. My age is 31 M. I dont smoke, no high bp just plain high cholesterol. I have been having pain and sweating in chest for which doc prescribed sorbitrate to me. Now, I am thinking if is its a good idea to get CT coronary angiography done so as to understand extent of blockage in my heart. Also, what kind of physical activity can i do without worrying about chest pain. I grt chest pain while doing deep breathing yoga exercises.

Need a detailed history for better advise. Do not directly go for CT coronary angiography. What was the cause of your bed rest. Are you allowed to move now? Need answers of many questions before suggesting some tests.
