Trust or 2nd opinion: Follow your doctors advice. If he feels there is no evidence of myocardial ischemia, and that no further testing is warranted, then either trust what he tells you or seek a second opinion. You have every right to get a second opinion if you wish, and if the 2nd opinion concurs with the first, you should not worry.
