What Causes Hard Heart Beats While Climbing Stairs?

My heart's been having issues lately, but my cardiologist thought it was due to stress/fatigue. Passed my stress test, although my heart rate hit target (too) quickly. My heart is now POUNDING when I go up stairs. I do have a cold, overweight, 35 female.

Stress, anxiety can cause heart pounding on going upstairs.
