Heart pounds/stairs: When you climb stairs it is a physical activity so it will make the heart work harder,especially if you are deconditioned/overweight . How long has this been going on ? You might consider an EKG and or echocardiogram to make sure the is no subtle structural variation, f/u/w/ doc
