Hi
As age and high cholesterol are risk factors , it is good that you had undergone echo and stress test . Normal reports indicate no major ongoing problem . but maintaining normal cholesterol and BMI with regular exercise is what you should aim at .
rubbing balms will be seful only if pain is due to muscle or rib , not in heart related cases.
Dont forget to repeat the cardiac profile tests every year and compare with previous reports .
Thx

Hi welcome to H.C.M.F. Your problem is concerned with stomach, and surounding structures. if you use P.P.I. with the guidance of gastroenterologist if you get relief my statement is correct
