(but i know that level of radiation is huge 50-100 times normal chest x-raying....

Firstly there is no link between breathlessness and the menopause. You give no details of her weight, smoking history, past medical history nor medication history if any. You don't refer a patient for angiography until they have had many other tests first, and then it is a secondary care decision. If her breathlessness remains unexplained she needs referred to either a cardiologist or a respiratory physician, depending on where her GP feels the problem lies.
