There is soft plague (not calcified) narrowing that the origin of the left main artery and considered insginificant...there shouldn't be any pain associated with the mild occlusion.  

There were autopsies of returning military and at their young age were beginning to show occlusions.

There isn't anything in the report that you should be concerned over.  There are many causes for the pain and dizziness you are experiencing.
