Tightness in chest while/after half an hour walk. negative ekg's, 48 hour holter monitor and stress test. what could be causing me this tightness?

Not cardiac: A negative stress test test, plus your age make it very unlikely that this is a cardiac issue. The discomfort is then likely from your lungs, chest wall, or gastrointestinal tract. See your doc to get this further evaluated.
