Brief Answer:
This is definitely not related to your heart
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I am definitely sure that this is not related to your heart. Moreover, your ECG was normal, and you do not have a family history of heart problems. This makes it least likely for you to have a heart problem.
Hence, please be rest assured that your heart is normal These chest pains are related to hiatal hernia and the indigestion problem. Please get treated for both of these at the earliest. For hernia, surgical repair can be done if required. For indigestion you can take proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole.
Please do not think of this as a heart problem because this will increase your panic attacks.
Stay calm and relaxed.
Hope this helps you.
