What are the odds of a 21 year old female having Coronary artery disease?

I have been experiencing chest pains, dizziness, shortness of breath, indigestion. Basically all the symptom of CAD and I am living with extreme anxiety thinking I have this until my appointment to see the cardiologist next month. I went to the ER last week because I couldnt stand the chest pain, the doctor diagnosed me with PVST
