Is there a link between acid relfux and anxiety?

Since i was diagnosed with acid reflux i have started with anxiety but its heart anxiety. I am constantly worried i'm going to have a heart attack.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Elliot1767 I dealed with anxiety before GERD diagnose, I think is very common to feel anxiety with GERD's symptoms, some people have palpitations, others lack of breath even the feeling of something stucked on your throat it's very uncomfortable, but think that, if symptoms makes you feel anxiety then the anxiety makes you feel worse, so it is a circle and I suggest first of all as Sharonz said, you should visit a cardiologist, if your heart is doing well just try to keep calm take a deep breath and relax it's part of the disease
