Dear sir i can understand your concern.
in my opinion your doctor gave you very good suggestion.
as TMT came positive,which is showing that there might be decreased blood supply to heart
this condition might be due to blockage or narrowing of arteries.
Angiogram will detect the blockage and at the same time procedures like balloon angioplasty ca be undertaken depending on amount of block.
Its recommended to check for angio.
Cost of angio varies from place to place
In india it cost about 1.5 to 2 lakhs in a multi speciality hospitals.
Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question feel free to write me back. I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
