I would go back to the doctor and tell them that you are still not feeling well. Not that you have heart disease persay but if your symptoms started after a cold you should be checked to make sure you didn't develop an infection around the heart.  Doctors often write off first time symptoms to see if they go away on their own but if they persist it is up to us to return to the doctor for further evaluation.  If you haven't had more extensive tests like an echo or mri then just go back and let them know that you are having a lot of activity with your heart and you want to be checked more extensively.  It very well could be nothing but better to be safe than sorry.  Also if you have any stomach issues try and address those.  They can have a big impact on the heart surprisingly but they can.  Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing.
