Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

Anxiety could be the cause of this clinical scenario.

Besides, you suffer from GERD and gastritis, which could also be the cause of this symptomatology.

I recommend close your eyes and take a deep breath. Taking another tablet of lansoprazole could be helpful!

If your symptoms do not improve within the next hour, I recommend taking a tablet 0.25 alprazolam. This would help in case of anxiety.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
