Brief Answer:
You need more tests
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is difficult to conclude from the given information
You need more work up
TMT – Treadmill exercise ECG – is necessary to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease) / the symptom is not typical, but the ECG is an indication
Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy) is necessary to evaluate food pipe and stomach – because of the relation to food
At this age, it is wiser to get investigated and exclude them
Consult a cardiologist first / if TMT is negative, he will refer to a Gastroenterologist for endoscopy
Good luck
God bless you
