Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that 35% of blockage is very insignificant and does not impose any major threat of having a heart attack the rest of the test results mentioned by you are well within normal limits so does your BP is.
The discomfort which you are experiencing could be simply a muscle cramp and there is nothing to worry for just relax and continue taking the medication prescribed by your treating doctor.
You can safely wait till your next scheduled appointment.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
