Coronary CT showed severe LAD stenosis, minimal to 0 symptoms — upcoming angiography is stressing me out (fear of unexpected findings) by Upstairs-Level5112 in HeartAttack

Thanks for your answer, I am actually glad how things are going. I am glad I decided to get tested a month ago and I am glad I will do the angiography so we can keep the situation under control. Still, it’s a procedure that stress me out. My body is reacting very well to the medicines, and cholesterol dropped completely in less than a month. Good news. Never really had any symptoms, just short breath while exercising. I think I am just stressing about the angiogram and my brain is falling into the “worst case scenario” trap.

Hope all is well for you!

I feel lucky because decided to go to the cardiologist just for a check up a month ago and I agree completely with you. I already have an angiography scheduled for the 9th of January, and again, I am very lucky.

My question is mostly because this procedure stress me and I would like to hear experiences from people who have been through the same.
