Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
The symptoms you mentioned here does not correspond to the symptoms of any heart disezase. You doctor is right. You are not aware about what is anxiety and it can take how many forms. That is all. Anxiety is not what you think. You have strong internal feeling that such food creates tingling and that happens. Means anxiety also includes unnecessary thinking. Be happy and have medicines for acidity. Get well soon.
