Brief Answer:
Acid reflux.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Your history is suggestive of Acid reflux disease more specifically Gastro Esophageal Reflux disease (GERD).
The increase in heart beat is most of the time just a feeling and not in actual and is a part of GERD.
In my opinion you should first of all get an ECG , Thyroid profile and blood sugar checked just in case to find out the other possible causes of these symptoms.
For acid reflux you can be started on q combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone once a day.
Take soft and bland diet.
Avoid any pain killers, alcohol consumption and smoking.
If the problem persists you would require to get Endoscopy done.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.. Stay healthy.
