What Causes Pain And Tightness In The Chest?

dear sir, i'm 49 male,slim med build,never smoked,but have slightly high BP. My recent ECG test read one or two adnormality,my doctor said they are not serious,but wants me to have tredmill stress test for suspect angina,due to me experiencing heavy feeling in my chest when walking up VERY small incline. I can walk 4 miles per day effortlessly. I have anxiety/stress problems also. 5 years ago when walking up VERY steep hill,my chest felt NOTICIABLE pain and heavy tight sensation,but it went away after a few minutes. MANY THANK YOU TO YOU.
