Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Since you have done cardiac check up (stress test and echo) that were normal than other causes are to be blamed for your symptoms.
Gastrointestinal disorders are the most common causes of your symptoms once that cardiac issues have been ruled out.
GERD and gallbladder issues are the most common gastrointestinal disorders.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Upper endoscopy
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
