Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since your cardiac work up is normal,no need to worry much for heart cause.
In my opinion you are having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
Large alcohol intake with stomach noises (gas) with pain and nausea, all suggest GERD.
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
So try to follow these steps for symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid alcohol.
2. Avoid large meals,take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and anxiety.
4. Avoid hot and spicy food.
5. Start proton pump inhibitor.
6. Go for walk after meals.
Your headache is mostly due to hang over from alcohol. So take simple painkiller and drink plenty of fluids.
