Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
1. If ECG and your blood tests were perfect, then, what explains the burning you feel in your stomach and "sensations in your chest" is GERD/reflux.

2. I advise to discuss with a GI specialist to schedule for upper endoscopy for further evaluations.

3. Meanwhile, I advise to:
- eat often, small portions and chew up slowly
- avoid alcohol, oily, chilly, spicy, fried foods
- avoid smoking
- raise your head when sleeping
- do not lay down immediately after eating
- take OTC ranitidine at bedtime and antacids after eating

Hope it helped!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome back!

The pain you have described isn't typical for heart problems. However you should do cardiac ECHO and stress test in order to definitely exclude cardiac problems.

Hope this will be of help!
