Brief Answer:
ECG and ECHO

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

As you don’t have any history so it’s unlikely to be due to heart issues. But still to be on the safe side it’s advisable to get an ecg and echo done. Once that will come normal we will be able to exclude cardiac origin and then we can focus from the gastric point of view.

Hope I have answered your query.
