Hi.... I just read your query. Since you are able to go through such a lot of exercise everyday, it is less likely that you could be having a cardiac problem.The heartburn could be simply because of acid reflux. You can try Pantoprazole/ Lanzoprazole in empty stomach for about a month. If dizziness occurs only on prolonged standing,get your BP checked in both supine and standing position.

However,since you have high cholesterol, you are at risk of heart disease.So it is advisable to get an EKG done routinely
