Brief Answer:
take Pantaprazole tablet.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your ECG report sounds normal and should not be a cause for worry. But it is always better to see a ECG before commenting on it,
From your symptoms it seems your symptoms could be because of GERD. ( back flow of stomach acid in the food pipe).
I would advise you to take a medicine like Pantaprozole daily for a month, In case your symptoms persist after a month, I would advise you to undergo an upper GI endoscopy
Please visit your doctor for a prescription of pantaprazole.
Hope this helps
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
