View allI'm a bit confused because I recently got a stress test done, and the results said it's negative for inducible ischemia during the TMT test. What does this really mean? Should I be worried or is this a good sign?

I'm looking for a second opinion on a diagnosis we got. There's an 85% blockage in the main artery. Do you think we should go for stenting right away?
In case of 85% blockage in the main artery, stenting is often recommended to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of complications. The medication used for stenting is Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily, in addition to Aspirin 81mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
