Hello
Welcome here.
You are having on/off feeling of heaviness in chest which radiates to stomach.
This can either be due to cardiac problem, or gas problem or anxiety itself.
ECG will help you to rule out cardiac problem.
Take tablet pantoprazole 20mg. This will help in gas problem. Avoid fatty and spicy food. Take plenty of fluids.
For anxiety, tablet klonopin(prescription drug) can be taken if required. Relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation will help.
Visit a physician for further opinion.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
