Hello
Your symptoms may indicate acid reflux. You have taken right medicine like tablet pantoprazole 40 mg.
But it is important to exclude other causes as well.
You may need clinical examination and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,lipid profile,upper GI endoscopy,ultrasound of abdomen.
There is no emergency to go tonight.Pantoprazole will relieve your symptoms.
You may need other medicines after upper GI endoscopy.
ECG can be done after clinical evaluation.
Get well soon.
Take Care
