hi and pleased to answer you
we need some infos to be more precise : smoking use, age, diabetes ...etc
but when a patient present symptoms like you, we need to evaluate firstly a coronary heart disease first, cause it s a life threatening diseases.
Then the symptoms you presente are more likely to be attributed to heart diseases, and you need urgently to do an EKG and a troponin blood test.
but if all the cardiologic test become negative, some gastric diseases can be the causes.
best wishes
