Brief Answer:
Lipid values are not alarming...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

At the outset, your symptoms don't suggest a serious concern. Further, though lipid report is deviating from normal values, they are not alarmingly abnormal. So I am not sure about the indication for stress echo.
That being said, since you don't have history of chest pain or exercise intolerance there are more than far chances of getting normal results from stress echo test. So don't be worried.

Besides these,
1. I see your weight is significantly abnormal. At 91 kgs, it falls in obese category which posses significant risks for future atherosclerosis. You need to put strong efforts to cut down weight. I strongly urge you to start dietary restriction and exercise.
2. If throat "coarse" sensation is troubling you, visit an ENT surgeon and get it checked. It should most likely be due to local throat cause.
3. Stretching toes may be most likely secondary to habitual activity rather than organic medical problem. But if there is any other associated problem, let me know.

Hope this solves your concerns. Let me know if you need clarification. Keep me posted with stress echo report.

Regards
