Brief Answer:
Cause could be gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible cardiac condition. However, I would suggest some other possible cause.
I should tell you that similar symptoms are very common with gastritis. You have already stated in the query that you have heart burn which is basically gastritis.
I therefore feel that you should have an endoscopy done instead of the repeated ecg.
I think I would suggest that you try XXXXXXX omeprazole 20 mg twice daily for few days. It acts best on empty stomach.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.

Dr. Mittal endoscopy done. Result shown minor gastro issues. Is any of my results correlate to cardiac issue? If cardiac then what should i do further. No test is showing thesecresults.
Brief Answer:
coronary angiography
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The gold standard for making sure that there is no cardiac lesion is by doing a Coronary angiography.
The test tells the exact status of the heart vessels.
In view of the fact that endoscopy does show changes I would suggest that you try to take the tablets I suggested before with syrup of sucralfate o. I am sure it would have good effect on your health.
