Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms seem to be related to gastro-esophageal reflux.

But, considering your past medical history, angina can not be excluded either.

For this reason, I recommend trying an antiacid or PPI (omeprazole, esomeprazole) first. If this helps improve your situation, it would indicate possible gastroesophageal reflux as the main cause of your complaints. In such case a fibrogastroscopy would be needed.

But, if your symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with your cardiologist for a careful physical exam and a coronary angio CT scan or Dobutamine stress echo, in order to investigate for coronary artery disease.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
