Brief Answer:
Need not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Its not serious problem and I am happy to note that you are on right medication(aspirin, crestor and candesartan) so the chances of ischemia progressing are not there.

I usually recommend for my patients with similar conditions ECG, echocardiography and RBS random blood sugar and complete blood count.

Hope I answered your question, will be happy to help you, if you have more questions.,

Regards
