I've been experiencing some mild chest pain and discomfort when I breathe. It's a bit concerning, and I'm wondering what could be causing this. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that could resolve on its own? Could it be related to stress, or should I get it checked out immediately?

I'm really worried about the possibility of having plaque in my arteries or if my coronary artery might be narrowing. Could you please tell me what tests I should consider to find this out? I just want to make sure I'm covering all the bases and keeping my heart healthy.

The tests to detect plaque in arteries or narrowing of coronary arteries include: 1. Coronary Angiography: This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or narrowing. 2. CT Coronary Angiography: This non-invasive test uses a CT scanner to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to detect any plaque buildup. 3. Stress Test: This test measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to detect any reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. 4. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): This test uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the coronary arteries to detect any plaque buildup. 5. Cardiac Catheterization: This invasive test involves inserting a catheter into the coronary arteries to measure blood flow and detect any blockages or narrowing. These tests can help diagnose plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
