New symptoms after a year

So I will keep it short- had some ANGINa like symptoms when i was 24- suspicion was lower, but got a CT angio done- perfectly normal ( 2024 November) A year later started getting JAW discomfort and some more typical symptoms - this time invasive angio done- again normal but with the mild myocardial bridge Taking bisoprol 5 mg- quality of life became quite better after a normal result since the anxiety removed- but now I am having symptoms, especially pressure and happiness in my neck and choking sensation- worst when I get up and when I lie down I was wondering if a stress echo is needed right now? Mainly for assurance? These episodes do not create any change in the ECG or trop i levels
