Hello XXXXXXX I have gone through your query.
Thanks for using HCM.In view of your young age,Normal ECG and normal TMT you don't have heart problem for sure.
It is quite likely that you have gastro oesophageal acid reflux.you take small frequent meals avoid spicy food,avoid smoking.maintain 3 hrs gap between meal and your sleep.also take PPI group of medicine along with anti reflux medicine like levosulpride.After2 weeks of this treatment if your symptoms continue you should undergo upper GI endoscopy.
