Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have feeling of haeviness in your chest specially when you climb up stairs . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like acid reflux ( you already undergo test ) , allergic or seasonal asthma , cardiac problem . There is no need to panic , but do consult cardiologist fr proper checkup . Doctor may order certain test like TMT , ECG and blood lipid profile along with body vitals . I would suggest you to take proper rest , avoid stairs , do nt take stress and avoid fatty food , eat only light food . Doctor may prescribe medicine like amlodipine and atenolol or atorvastatin . Doctor may also refer you to allergic specialist in case of asthma .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
