Brief Answer:
Try PPI, then stress test if needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think you have severe gastritis.
That is what causes the fullness feeling.
I dont think that this is related to the heart.
However, if you are worried, a stress test can be scheduled.
But i am quite sure this is gastritis.
You can try taking antacids like pantoprazole 40 mg twice a day on empty stomach.
Try for 1 week, if you dont feel better thereafter, go for a stress test.
Best of luck.
Dr Mittal
