Heartburn is not related to heart and you should not worry. Heart burn as you know is a digestive disorder and is mainly due to decreased gastric motility and increased gastric secretion or one of them. HDL being low is not healthy and to increase that component you need to exercise regularly for around 30 minutes per day. That shall also improve your digestive function. Hope you shall make these changes and improve to a very good extent.
