I have had anxiety for 8 years with no real luck getting past it. Last night I had severe heartburn which caused me to think I was having a heart attack. My arms started to tingle & my heart was racing. Went to the ER & the EKG was normal. Doctor blamed it on reflux & anxiety. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues?

ooooh yes.. thats definetly a side effect.. when ur anxious ur stomach reacts to it.. ur nerves are alert and its unable to settle ur food. dont worry.. take some antacids or change what u eat for sure.. best advice avoid garlic, onions, tomatos, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, fried foods.. spicy foods, junk food (chips, cookies, candy. etc) good look
