Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello if you are more than 40 years , have risk factors like obesity , irregular lifestyle , if you are a smoker along with hypertension, and the symptoms you describe happens when you walk or are exerting , it's wise to rule out underlying cardiac issues .
A treadmill stress test along with stress echo if possible would be ideal test to do so .
If normal you can safely rule out any serious heart problem , in which case it may be plain muscular pain or gastritis due to weak stomach .
