Palpitations, breathing and chest pain

I have had palpitations for over 2 years now. A cardiac cath showed a 30% blockate in the ant. desc. I am on 100 mg of toprol twice a day. About a month ago I started having recurring palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath and coughing with shortness of breath. My cardiologist had a stress echo done and it came out clean. Now I am being told that nothing can be done for this problem. It is extremely uncomfortable and since I am a flute player, I find it hard to get air at times and I have chest pain after playing for about an hour. Should I seek another opinion or just live with it like I'm told. What about exercise?
