Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If your stress was positive for ischemia and you are feeling chest discomfort with Angina, then you should get further cardiac evaluation done. Kindly consult your treating Cardiologist and get an Angiography done so that coronary artery disease can be taken care of.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
