I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms don't seem to be cardiac related.
Gastroesophageal reflux could be the cause of your symptomatology. Other gastro intestinal conditions like dyspepsia, gastritis or an irritable bowel syndrome can not be excluded too.
You should know that anxiety could also exacerbate gastrointestinal symptoms.
I recommend taking some PPI like omeprazole, lansoprazole or an antacid.
I would also advise you to avoid spicy food for some days and caffeine or soda drinks.
If the problem persists, I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes) and a fibrogastroscopy.
Hope to have been of help!
Wishing all the best for the New Year!
Kind regards,

Thank you for your helpful response doctor. I will monitor my condition but unfortunately I don't have medical insurance due to my financial condition, so I really worry about going to a hospital and incurring an un-payable XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
I am glad to have been helpful!
Even though you can not afford going to the hospital, I would advise you to follow my recommendations regarding the diet modifications and antiacid or PPI intake.
Your situation doesn't seem to be a medical emergency. So you don't have to worry about any possible complications for the moment. It is just some days of gastrointestinal troubles.
