U r on the right track, get a stress test done as soon as possible, what about diabetes and hypertension? Also get a Thyroid function test done, to rule out Hypothyroid state.Have u got a gi endoscopy done, as u wait for the stress test get the endoscopy done and take a course of Omeprazole 20 mgm daily with anti-helicobacter schedule as adv by your doctor.
