No: That's an expected change at age 59. If you have symptoms of coronary insufficiency, you should have a stress test. If you have transient neurologic symptoms, you should have a carotid duplex exam. In the absence of sx, you don't require further testing. Optimize your risk factors: BP, cholesterol, avoidance of smoking; Exercise daily and eat a healthy diet.
