Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
It's a good thing that all cardiac were normal (negative for cardiac disease) and you shouldn't worry about heart attack or sudden death.
Your symptoms may be related to premenopausal symptoms or GERD (gastric reflux disease or acid reflux). If you were my patient I would recommend to do:
- Abdominal ECHO
- Upper endoscopy
these are done to exclude any gastrointestinal issues.
Meantime I would suggest:
- Eat often and small portion
- Avoid eating up to 3 hours before going to sleep
- Use antacids
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
