Hello, I can understand your concern for your health. with the exercise stress echo, one can not be sure that if the person had MI or not, but this test helps to detect whether that person is at the risk of MI or not. And as per your report, you are at risk of developing MI and some sort of damage to your heart has started, so you should go for angiography as early as possible and plan your action accordingly. I would also suggest you to start ecosprin tablet prophylactically until you are undergoing angiography. Few life style modifications also require like avoid salt and sugar in your diet, avoid oily junk food, do regular walking for at least 20 minutes daily, etc. Also would suggest you to check your blood sugar, lipid profile, creatinine, etc. Hope this answers your question and don't take unnecessary tension, you will be fine with few medications and life style modifications, if nothing will be there in angiography. Feel free to ask any of your further queries directly to me anytime.
