You have to perform a preliminary check up for your safety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

The symptoms appear non serious. However I would recommend you to consult an ER doctor and perform a resting ECG, and eventually some blood tests (including cardiac enzymes), as sometimes ischemic heart disease may present with digestive symptoms and heartburn.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

Greetings!
Dr. Iliri
