Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     Your symptoms do not suggest CAD – pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on.
     However you need to be investigated – ECHOcardiogram (Structural anomalies) / LABORATORY work-up (for bleeding diathesis) – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
     The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
