Are you having : Any other symptoms like chest pain, sweating, abdominal pain? How long after eating? Right after or after a period of time? A good history and physical essential to answer your question. I will start with an ekg, possible stress test to r/o chd. Also abdominal condition like stomach ulcer, esophagitis from gerd. Hyperthyroidism, lack of physical conditioning, diabetes, excess caffeine, drugs etc.
