discomfort in chest while (brisk)walking


Posted by Prasad

I am around 45yr asian male, with 190lb weight, 6 ft tall person.
Since a very long time, may be 10 yr, when ever I go for walk (brisk walk), I feel pain/discomfort/heavyness etc near left side of the heart, towards left shoulder joint. This goes on until first 15-20 min of my walk, and then fully subsides after that. It won't appear even when I slowly start to jog, after that 15-20 min.

I consulted doctors and had undergone echocardiograpy (some 15yr ago), angiography (a wire probe is sent via puncture done near groin area towards the heart while I am sedated, 7yr ago), stress test (7yr ago) all came negative.

The worry is because it is bothering me since more than 10yr.
Doctor told me I had high bad cholestorol (around 260) and low good cholestorol 
I am by nature anxious person, got some anxiety problems.

Should we suspect this to be 'angina pectoris' from what I read from literature on the internet ? Or anything more serious ?
