I'm looking at my angiography report, and it states something like a 10060 17 blockage in the veins. I'm really unsure about what this means for my treatment options. Should I be considering surgery, or could something like using rings be effective without having to go through an operation? Also, I don't have diabetes, and there's no family history of heart issues. Would love to hear your thoughts on what might be the best route for me.

I've been dealing with some chest pain for the past couple of days. It's kind of in the chest area and I've noticed it spreading to my shoulder and back too. The pain isn't super intense, more like a discomfort or small pressure. Also, my body temperature seems to be fluctuating a lot, like I feel hot one moment and cold the next. What could this be?
