View allI'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

I've been feeling this heaviness in my chest for about two weeks. There's no actual pain in my chest, but I do feel some kind of pain at the back. Should I be worried about this?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm 27 and work as an engineer. I recently had angioplasty after a heart attack, and now I'm really worried about my future. Should I still consider getting married? I'm afraid if I tell a potential partner about my heart issues, they might back out. It's making me think about staying single forever. What should I do?
getting a heart attack at young age and undergoing angioplasty should not restrict you from leading a healthy and happy life. You can marry after a heart attack after informing your future wife. Regarding your cardiac rehabilitation and future lifestyle advice i need further details.
