Hi
I read your query and understood your concern.
The discomfort you are experiencing is most probably related to heart disease (heart failure or ischemic heart disease).
To rule out ischemic heart disease is recommended the angiography.
The angiography should be done with care when the creatine level is high because can lead to renal damage and renal failure.
Hope it answered to your query.
If you have more concerns please don't hesitate to write me back.
