Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that the soreness to the touch is not typical of the heart, and is usually related to a musculo-skeletal pain (local inflammation).

Anyway, considering the coronary artery disease, I would recommend performing a coronary angio-CT scan, in order to examine the blood flow in this coronary arteries.

I would like to directly review his tests for a second opinion. In the meantime, I recommend taking ibuprofen for the pain and avoiding straining physical activity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
