Hi,

These symptoms can be due to GERD or gastric reflux but the possibility of heart related issues should be ruled out. A baseline EKG and echocardiogram should be done to rule out any cardiac issue. A thyroid profile may also be needed. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen along with antacids like omerperazole before meals as well as motility agents like domperidone can be used. If any cardiac issue is suspected, indoor management and further work up might be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
