Respected Sir , I born in 1965 and was having Peptic Ulcer Symptoms in year 1994 and was given OMEPRAZOL ? OCID Tablet for a year or so . Thereafter , I was quite OK . Recently , for last seven months or so , after reaching my office in morning ( after climbing two story , I started feeling fast breathing rate , which continues for two minutes or so . TREATING THIS AS A +ve SIGNAL OF ing problems in HEART , I WENT for Laboratory Tests to fing Whether There is any danger / risk of HEART ATTACK ? All TESTS LIKE ECG , ULTRASCOUND , ECHO-CARDIOGRAPHY etc. WERE OK and normal rxcept results of TRADE MILL TEST ( which according to Doctor , indicates medium Risk ) . The test continued for 15 minutes or so and I was feeling OK during Trade Mill Test except in last two to three minutes I felt high breathing rate . NOW , doctors says for ANGIOGRAPHY for confirmation and further says that most probably STUNT has to be implanted . ______MY QUESTION IS ---I WANT TO AVOID ANGIOGRAPHY AND IMPLANTATION OF STUNT ?

hi
angiogram is an investigation done to find out the percentage of the blockage of the coronary( heart) vessels
one positive episode during treadmill test also has some significance.
it is not mandatory that all of them go for stent implantation
if the block is minimal, then medical management is the treatment of choice
if moderate -introduction of stent
if severe- open surgery
take care
