What Causes Dull Ache In Upper Chest?

Hello, I have a dull ache in my upper chest. This discomfort feels like after I have been coughing a lot. I had a triple bi-pass in 20013, my lab work is good with a cholesterol at 137. When I walk up a hill I get no chest pain, and actually feel better. I saw my Cardiologist yesterday, and he has me set to do an echo and a nuclear stress test. But, I am curious what it can be.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the pre-existing cardiac illness then present symptoms needs to be ruled out for that only if the concern tests are remarkable then it could be something else than the cardiac illness related symptoms, and most probable cause could be muscular pain, hyperacidity, stress, allergic condition, hope this information helps.
