Hello, Vinod.
All the symptoms mentioned in your query is a clear indication of "ANGINA PECTORIS ". A clinical syndrome of ischemic heart disease resulting from transient myocardial infarction, and characterized by severe chest pain ( heaviness )which is aggravated by in increase in the demand of heart and relieved by decrease in the workload of heart .
This heaviness often radiates to neck, jaw, arms, back or even the teeth.
These symptoms mentioned by you aggravated after full meal and exertion . On empty stomach usually patient feel less discomfort.
Diagnosis can be confirmed by treadmill test , E K G and later on angiography.
In my opinion you should consult a CARDIOLOGIST sort this problem at earliest.
Hope this will help you.
