Brief Answer:
I'm waiting for the requested data.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

What you are experiencing isn't typical for cardiac issues but for gastrointestinal problems especially GERD (acid reflux) and spastic colitis.

However, cardiac problems should be excluded. Can you please send me a copy of your cardiac examinations?

I'm waiting for the requested data.
