Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to a gastroesophageal reflux or just anxiety. You should know that alcohol can trigger both these disorders. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, etc.). A fibrogastroscopy may be needed to exclude possible gastro esophageal disorder (gastritis, esophagitis, reflux, etc.). If all the above mentioned tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as a possible cause of this clinical scenario. Some tips like : -drink small amount of soft drinks (not heavy drinks) -never drink with empty stomach would help reduce these episodes. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Iliri
