Brief Answer:
Better to have an ECG and stress test to be on safe side.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Most likely it can be gastritis.But better to rule out cardiac cause by doing an ECG and stress test (TMT) to be on safe side.

Antacids won't help always in gastritis. Taking H2 blockers like Ranitidine (Zantac) or Proton pump inhibitors like Esomeprazole (Nexium) will be helpful for this. Taking any of these for 5 to 7 days will better.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
