HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I carefully red your history given here, you are not such heavy smoker moreover it may not be nicotine withdrawal, but it is much better to stop smoking,, If I would be your doctor then I would definitely ask for treadmill test to rule out the near possibility of cardiac disease, the given treatment for GERD is very much okay and you keep it continue, every will be fine no need to worry have good day. ( Prevention is better than cure )
