Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to gastritis or anxiety.

Coming to this point, I would recommend taking omeprazole or pantoprazole. If these drugs help improve your situation, I would recommend continue on this therapy, until consulting with your doctor for a gastro-intestinal endoscopy.

Otherwise, if your symptoms persist, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
