Hello,
Some times stress test and echo cardio gram may not reveal all the information the cardiologist wants to decide So he may have suggested for some more tests. From the given information, it is clear that you are physically quite active and apparently hear appears to be in good shape. But to avoid missing any problem it is better to undergo suggested tests. For your own benefits.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
