weird problems after weight loss

Hello, I am currently 360 lbs and 26 years old. I was 428 before so i've lost a considerable amount of weight by doing 1 hour walks daily, and night exercises which consist of little 5 lb arm weights and a few aerobic exercises. Anyhoo,within past 2 weeks,  I have recently started to up my exercise to 1 1/2 hour of walking early, and 30 min of walk/jogging at night w night exercises as well. The other day I jogged a little further than normal and had this SEVERE sharp pain in my chest. Now you should also know that since i've lost weight i've experienced LOTS of chest pain and nausea/lightheadedness/dizziness. I've had echo,stress and they say everything looks ok. I go to the er almost 2 time every months because of chest pain just not feelng like myself.  Does anyone know what could be wrong or causin this? Why is this? normally losing weight is a really great feeling, but i just have these problems now. thanks

request that they check you for coranary artery spasms --- they can cause these symptoms but most heart tests are normal as it isnt actually a heart issue but an artery spasm issue that can cause sharp pains  tightness and breathlessness

Are you sure you are working some muscles that weren't being used before?  I know that once I started exercising 7 years ago it was an awful effort.  But once I got into the groove, I couldn't get enough.  Here latley though, I wake up so stiff and sore.  My body is really starting to react different to the exercise latley.  I know that some of my chest discomfort is muscle aches.
