Hello,
It is a case of gastro oesophagal reflux disease. Though I can't rule out heart involvement chances are decimal as history suggests.
GERD worsens lying down. So I suggest you take medications:
Rx Lansoprazole OD for 21 days.
Syrup Digene BD for 21 days. Preventive measures are taken:
Avoid taking curd or citrus fruits or foods. Avoid excess intake of drinks, coffee and coke. Avoid cigarette smoking it often cause acidity. Take milk with food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
