What Causes Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

I am 73 and developed chest pain that feels like costochondritis or UGI, and SOB. It developed suddenly last week after weight lifting at the gym, which I hadn't done in months. I feel it isn't cardiac because have had 3 nuclear stress tests over,the past decade that were fine. History asthma and IBS. Aleve helps a little.
