Need examination & investigation to see the food pipe & stomach

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     Your symptoms do not suggest Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) pain – pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on. Negative stress test confirms it.
     Relation to water and/or food directs the attention to the digestive tract…One needs an Upper Gastro Intestinal Endoscopy (“gastroscopy”) – to have a look at the oesophagus (food pipe) and stomach. Irritation, ulcer, or reflux needs to be ruled out…
     Consult a Gastroenterologist (“Stomach specialist”)

Good luck
God bless you
