Brief Answer:
Get done TMT and Stress echo.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Sometimes resting ecg and echocardiography are normal.
Your chest symptoms are at exertion (exercise).
So better to get done Stress Echo and TMT (Trade mill test).
If they are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases related chest symptoms.
Then possibility of asthma related chest tightness is more likely.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I need to follow up with a pulmonologist. I have an albuterol. normally without it, my peak flow is about 420 to 460. when I take it, it goes up to about 550 or so. I used to take advair when I was younger and probably should get back on that or flovent but due to high blood pressure, I have to be careful.
