I had the same feeling in 2014 when I'd ride up hills. Saw my cardiologist said he scheduled me for a heart cath. Even though I'd been riding regularly for 14 years he told me I had a 90% blockage in my LAD. Since they put in the stent I've had no more problems.
Have you seen a cardiologist lately?
Mashing in too hard of a gear is hard on anyone not in good riding condition.
