Hello,XXXX
Welcome to HCM .
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
All your symptoms are suggestive of acid peptic disease, if your cardiac profile is normal.The needle you are feeling in heart and back may be because of this.
It is being aggravated by stress and anxiety.
I have following suggestion for you,
1. Life style changes like avoid coffee, tea, spicy food, long hours without having food,aerated drinks and alcohol.
2. Exercise to your potential..
3.Stress management,like keep yourself busy in outdoor games, this will also take care of your exercise as well.
4.Meet friends and relatives of your choice, spend time with them.
5. Take tablet pantoprazole for about tow to three weeks empty stomach before meals.
Your condition will surely improve.

Brief Answer:
once daily, empty stomach.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
It is very nice to know that most of things you are already doing and you are not stressed.
Take tablet Pantoprazole once daily as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. It should be taken for at least 4 weeks.
My patients start feeling the effect after about 2 or 3 days, but early start of symptom free days has also been reported. So it differs from person to person.
Your heart is fine according to your doctor's reports as mentioned earlier. What ever happening to your heart now may be because of acid peptic disease, this should be taken care of, by this drug.
