You cannot confirm or rule out heart problems without a ECG and medical evaluation. If the pain is ongoing, severe, or associated with sweating, breathlessness, or fainting, go to the hospital immediately. Taking a PPI for a few weeks is unlikely to harm the kidneys in most people, but it should not be continued long-term without medical review.
And with what you may have is GERD , when acid reflux too frequently and causes burning pain in chest.

Not at all.its your anxiety. If you wanna confirm ,go for ecg. Longterm ppi use may affect kidney ,not for short term use.
