Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest to do an electrocardiogram to exclude cardiac issues. Meanwhile, I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day. I also suggest to use a PPI medication such as Omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
