Microvascular heart disease

How would a person be diagnosed with microvadcular heart disease? Are there specific tests??

I feel the young cardio doctor is just grasping at straws as I fit most of the critetia. He has no other explanation for my daily angina which has become worse since 3 stents fitted a year ago after m.i. I now have congestive heart failure stage 3. I have kidney failure stage 4 because of contrast dye.

I have never felt worse. No energy. Not able to do any activity. Walk 100 steps. Life not worth living. Nuclear stress test was 'normal'. Why do I feel so bad?

Is there ANYTHING that can be done??

Is there anything (else) I can do???

Vit results all normal range.

Have hipothyroidism. Tsh 1.34

Have hypoaldosteroneism

Have cholesterol of 230 and ldl of 160 but cannot take statins or ezitimibe for terrible muscle pains. Have high triglicerides which is very common with ckd as kidneys cannot remove. I already follow low fat low carb etc diet.
