Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would like to explain that your symptoms are not related to any cardiac disorder (including angina).

The symptoms you refer, may be related to a gastric disorder, like gastritis or dyspepsia.

Anxiety could also mimic a similar symptomatology (due to phenomena of air swallowing related to anxiety).

I recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy if the problem persists or is associated to heart burn.

Meanwhile I would recommend not to worry about it and having a healthy diet, avoid spicy food and take plenty of water.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best regards,

Dr. Iliri
