Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Since the heart XXXXXXX doesn't show any coronary blockage, your symptoms aren't related to cardiac issues.

The pain most probably are related to pulmonary issues. This is why there'sno need to ask for nitrates change.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
