i have severe Acid reflux have had this for almost 5 years,ive had anxiety,a few years longer.
Im currently Disablded,because of Anxiety,Depreesion,Agoraphobia,Hypochondria..
I always seem to have a health related fear since I got Gerd years back.Could be heart,liver etc.
Anyways ive been on PPI medications 5 years,I eat bland,only water to drink tryed all PPI'S and the last 7 months ive been suffering something terrible.Ive had this happen before but ive become obessive with Gerd,and almost aneroxic because im scared to eat to get sick.Ive lost weight,and im scared im going to have to have gerd surgery.Which isnt a great option..

I have acid Reflux and GERD! When I start feeling the heartburn and pressurein my chest I instantly think it is heart related and I usually go into panic. I to worry about esophegus erroision and cancer. I have been on Nexium for four years. one the doctors said that it could all be related to my anxiety disorder. Since nervous stomach is what starts all the acid flowing in the first place.
I hope it helps you to know that you are not alone.

I thought most of the people on this forum has had a bout of acid reflux, or at least a few months ago they did. I have it terribly. Water can really give you bad heart burn, but of course the health benefits of drinking it outway the heart burn. I take gaviscon for heart burn and indigestion. I eat a small bowl of cereal when it gets real bad, especially before going to bed. Oatmeal is good also. But the gaviscon really puts out the fire for me. I hope you feel better soon,

Hi, I have severe SILENT acid reflux. I went to a specialist for being dizzy and choking all the time..which of course my med docs blamed on the anxiety. When he did the scope deal, he asked if I ever had heartburn, I said very rarely, then he told me I was "full of junk". He put me on Prevacid. I've been on it about a month now and can tell a little bit of improvement with no side effect at all. He told me I would need to be on it at least 3 or 4 months to see a complete difference.
Have a nice day!
