Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
After carefully going through the medical details provided by you i understand your concern and i would like to tell you that YES many people do have felling of chest discomfort or feeling of tightness when they are stressed.
As your other tests were within normal range in my opinion its advisable to get one STRESS TEST (TMT or A Stress Echo) first instead of going for ffr CT. As you said you do exercise daily for 1 hour so the possibility of having any significant coronary artery disease in your case in minimal.
And as i advised you before also Kindly start doing meditation/Yoga daily as it will really help you handle your stress and anxiety levels.
Feel free to ask back if you have any more doubts.
Kind Regards

No it doesn't. As i said as your other tests were normal so the possibility of having any significant coronary artery disease in very minimal.
Your crp levels are just slightly raised which cac very well be due to some age related degenerative process going in the body. Other causes includes
1. Trauma
2. burns
3. Heart Attack
3. Infection like pneumonia or TB
4. Inflammatory bowel disease
No thats not always cardiac related.
