hello
did u experience that spotting on the expected time of periods or did it occur after delay of 5 to 6 days
spotting just before the normal duration of periods do occur in some women ( premenstrual spotting due to hormonal disturbances ) but this is usually followed by normal flow of periods within few days

spotting after delayed period could be due to implantation bleeding at 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy
here upt is strongly positive

spotting after delayed periods with abdominal pain & maybe dizziness could be due to ectopic pregnancy here upt is weakly positive

heartburn with nausea can occur in pregnancy but they also occur in gastritis

if a patient with similar history comes to me I would do her urine pregnancy test with first morning urine sample. alternatively u can do blood test ( bhcg )
u can take syrup digene for heartburn
