Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms don't seem to be cardiac related.

This symptomatology is probably related to acute gastritis , esophagitis or gastro esophageal reflux.

Do you have any other symptoms like burping or nausea?

I recommend using PPIs (omeprasole, lansoprazole, etc) or an antiacid. If your symptoms are relieved by one of this drugs, it would be very indicative for a gastro esophageal disorder.

If the problem persists, your should consult with a gastroenterologist and perform a GI endoscopy to rule in/out the above mentioned disorders.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
