Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms could be related to a gastric disorder. Anxiety may mimic this situation too.
Coming to this point, I would first recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy in order to exclude a possible gastric issue. You should discuss with your doctor on this test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
