Brief Answer: Your problems most likely due to anxiety,acidity. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX Thanks for writing to us Your age doesn't support cardiac problems.However now a days it is found even in young age due to changing life style. From history it seems that your problems are due to anxiety or acid problem. It is good that your reports are normal. You should try to relax your self by meditation,yoga etc. Palpitation is mostly due to benign reasons like anxiety and it is not serious in most of the cases. For acidity you can take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg once daily half hour before food for six weeks. Get well soon. Hope i have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome.
