Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
If the stress tests are normal, heart may not be the cause.
Lungs need assessment - X-ray chest, spirometry (lung function) may help
Heart burns may be from the medicines / or from food pipe, stomach etc. An endoscopy will diagnose. Proton Pump Inhibitors can help in the mean time
Take care
Wishing you speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
