Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your symptoms may be related to:
- GERD (acid reflux disease)
- Anxiety and stress
As long as cardiac examinations and hormonal levels were within normal range cardiac issues have been excluded and you shouldn't worry about heart induced arrhythmia.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Upper endoscopy
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
