Its one of those "double-acting" things. The reflux makes you uneasy, which makes anxiety worse, and the anxiety can prompt the reflux. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. A life of Tums. Not a pleasant thought. You can go the HealthPages (upper right of screen) and check for the FAQ on symptoms -there are zillions and the list is by no means complete, so there's your line-up of anxiety suspects.
You might want to take a real kicker of a a reflux fighter such as Prilosec OTC (with medical advice) because it does do a good job of knocking down the reflux -did wonders when I had it. And so, getting control of THAT problem may also relieve you of some anxiety -inasmuch as the reflux is a contributor.
Let us know how it goes with you, OK?
Happens to me all the time. When I am tense, anxious and panicked I immidiately get it
Yes, there can be. When I am nervous (which has been for a couple of months now), it can take a toll on you both physically and mentally. I have a 'sour stomach' and a lump in my throat on a consistent basis. Have you talked to your doctor about this?
Hi Angie,
Most common is chest pain, others are chest tightness, stinging pains in various chest area's, airway swelling, shortness of breath.
