Brief Answer:
Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

If it is high sensitivity troponinT, there is only slight deviation and nothing to worry, especially if it went down in three hours.
Anyway, I would advise you to have a stress test done to exclude the coronary artery disease.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health

Dear Sir,

Patients with aortic stenosis can have chest pain, but if there is no troponin level elevation, nothing to be concerned.
