I appreciate your concern. I need to know your age, gender,whether you have diabetes, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, any family history of heart disease( premature coronary artery disease), smoking habits etc. All these risk factors increases the chance of ischaemic heart disease. I would recommend you to do an ECG and consult a physician. if it is normal, A Tread mill test will identify your problem. An echocardiography can assess your heart function. If all these are normal, or there is no risk factors, i think there is not much to worry. In that case all you need is some antacids and anti anxiety medicines.
