Terrible heartburn and chest pain

Hi My name is Azrin
 
Today is my 15 days of quit smoking after almost 4 years smoking on average 7 stick of cigarrates a day. For me, i dont have any craving for cigarrates anymore. But the nicotine withdrawals surely hell for me. For last 2 weeks, i have terrible heartburn and my stomach ache. I also experience chest pain and coughing. I have check with my doctor yesterday because of this issue. They do ECG test on me. the result were normal and the doctor said it was because of gastric juice entering esophagus. Please help me, i feel i am losing right here.

Terrible heartburn and chest pain

Hi Timbo,
 
today i feel a lot fresh compare to the day i was smoker. Its irritate me for me for having chest pain and palpitation. thinking i was having an heart attack. i have undergo a series of heart check up including echocardiogram test. the show that my heart working at 80% capacity which mean it in good health. but i still can kick the feeling think i was sick with heart attack. it is weird to feel sick after we remove the habit of getting sick such as smoking.
 
my bp also rose to 180/110 from 133/92 - 144/102 average. it is normal to have this kind of things? i also have terrible bloating and gas plus wind.
 
how long this will be go from me?
