Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Heartburn has to be evaluated to rule out any cardiac cause. Get an ECG done to look for any changes. Most often it is due to gastritis or what is called acid reflux. You can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid spicy foods and restrict the use of alcohol. If symptoms persist, better to consult a pyramid get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
