Hey everyone

on Tuesday i went to the e.r for upper abdominal pains which i was told it was gerd..all i had was some blood work done to check my pancreas and gall bladder count which came out fine.i'm worried because i get sharp pains in my upper abdominal which started happening when i left the e.r.sometimes they're also on the left.i get sharp pains on my chest as well but i know it's chest pain because i just had my 2nd EKG done last Saturday.i also suffer from anxiety and depression.my only question is and i will really appreciate some answers is
Can anyone please describe to me what symptoms you have experienced with gerd? has anyone ever gotten the same pains that i just described?
I do understand that anxiety and gerd go hand in hand but i just want to know if it's not only me.

It sounds like you were suffering from esophageal spasms.

Being anxious can cause more acid thus causing spasms.

Find you a good gastroenterologist.

I have GERD. I went to the doctors because my stomach hurts and I tend to throw up acid everytime I eat anything.....I can't drink juice or eat certain fruits. I had this trouble since I was a child. I'm taking medication now....it kinda works. what you should is first, is to not panic. then, don't eat anything acid rich...like lemons, oranges. no spicy stuff. anti-acids if you need to. this problem cause also come from stress. you may have too much stress?

Wow.since a child? How have you been dealing with it?
Honestly, the only reason i panicked was because i have anxiety.maybe because of the stress, it also can be because I herd/read and was told that anxiety and gerd go hand in hand.i did have gastritis when i was 16.
But, that went away.

well when I was a child, I didn't throw up but I couldn't drink juice cause It causes me pain. Now I'm 16. The problem got worse. I throw up constantly after eating something spicy or anything water rich. I deal with it by never drinking juice. but It made me an easy target to get sick. so I have to take vitamins. anxiety may be the problem for you. sorry you have it. I have it too.but it doesn't hit me until i'm angry. and I tent to throw up too xD so we have the same pain.*sigh*

Sorry to hear that.
I thought i was young with GERD..
I'm 20.about to be 21 next month you can only imagine how my 21st birthday is going to be i'm not going to have one drink.
Anyway, it's always Nice to know you're not alone.
Thanks for the reply.

Lol i rather not.when i had gastritis i stayed sober for 3 years.i was afraid to touch one alcoholic beverage.i tell my self that if i'm having a beer while having a stomach problem it's pretty much like having to start taking care of my self all over again.that's just me though.
Thanks.
Well, it can happen to any one.
