This is annoying - results of nuclearr stress test

I noticed a few weeks ago that I was experiencing some chest pain when I got
going a little bit on the tread mill - not too high, 3.2 mph or so - and then
it diminished when I backed off.

Talked to my cardiologist and we scheduled a nuclear stress test for
yesterday. The Dr. saw nothing significant on the EKG except for the results
of old MIs. Got the results today and the nurse said there was a change since
last time and I should make an appointment with my cardiologist.
Unfortunately, she is out until next Wed. and the earliest appt. I could get
is the Wed. after that.

I suspect this is a stable plaque which is building up and I suspect it may be
in part due to me backing off on the amount of exercise I do for the last few
months. However, I also suspect I am probably headed for another angioplasty.
(The first in many years.) I know there is some controversy on angioplasty for
stable plaques but I lean toward it, because the signals the blockage sends
out could cause me to mistake a real MI for the old blockage and could cause
me to further cut back on exercise.

Thoughts?
