Brief Answer:
Thanks for the feedback
Detailed Answer:
As per the information provided by you the symptoms are sort of atypical but as CT Angiography has shown significant disease in diagonal so it become important to go for a conventional Angiography to see the actually state and extent of the disease.
CT Angiography is NOT a GOLD standard investigation for coronary artery disease. So as CT Angiography has shown some problem so it become important to get a normal angio done first and only after that the proper line of treatment will be decided.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
