Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Any chest pain that increases with exertion needs cardiology evaluation. Please do not ignore your symptoms and get an ECG and echocardiography done. A complete blood test is necessary. It can be anxiety also but unless heart problem is ruled out through investigations, nothing can be told. Gastritis also causes similar pains but it persists and does not decrease with rest.

Hope this helps

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Heaviness and pain in chest- first thing that should be done is to rule out heart problems like angina
There are other possibilities too like Heartburn .it can be a possibility if there is history of acid reflux and antacids may offer relief in such case.
I would advise you when you consult your physician get a basic evaluation done like ECG, Blood pressure,blood tests like blood sugar, blood counts, lipid profile.AND Ultrasound abdomen.

These tests will HELP in diagnosis and clear your doubts.

I sincerely hope this will help you!Take care!
