Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If you do have a history of heart ailement get yourself evaluated again to rule out any recurrences. IF it is normal then it could be acid reflux for which eat small frequent meals instead of large meals. Exercise regularly , do not lift heavy weights, keep your head end elevated by 2-3 blocks or pillows, give a gap of 2-3 hours before you sleep after your dinner.
Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be donedone first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
