Gerd causing morning panics?

Hello,
This is my first post here. I'm Dave and been suffering off and on from Gerd, Anxiety, depression and alcoholism for around 20 years. I'm 50 now.
I have my alcoholism under control for 2.5 years now, and was doing so well this last year, I went off PPI's almost a year ago and my anti-depression meds around 3 months ago.
However the last few weeks I haven't been kind to my stomach, and I've moved away from my kids (only 20 miles) and stressed about my house and now seem to have brought on Gerd and depression again.
I tried omeprazole for a couple nights but I swear it made me 10 times worse. I'm now taking Zegrid OTC since Saturday and seem to tolerate it better.
This is the odd thing, I will wake up at 5AM, and want to sleep more but as soon as I start to doze off again, I have what I can only describe as a panic attack and jolt out of sleep. Then I seem to calm down to normal in 20 seconds and try again.
It reminds me of going through alcohol detox where you're tossing and turning. So I'll get up, and head to work with my stomach tense and nauseaus and having zero appetite. What is odd is in the evening I feel near perfectly normal. I have a few minor stomach things but I'm in a much better mood, head has cleared and the morning troubles seem miles away.
The next morning - (like now) they are back in full force. (Anxiety, stomach issues, depression)

Has anyone had similar experiences?

Thanks for your response.

I think you should make a doctor appointment, maybe get a referral to a gastroenterologist. Most of the people here are not qualified to diagnose problems. Sounds like you've got a lot going on. Things didn't get better for me until the wife MADE me go to the doctor. Come to find out I had physical ailments that I was blaming on stress, nicotine, alcohol intake, acidic foods. It wouldn't have mattered; I needed surgery
