Hi GiftOfGod, I'm not quite sure what you mean? Can you give me some more info?

I know that anxiety and GERD are linked, but I can't offer much more. I am sure some far smarter people will be along to give you some advice. Stay well.

        What i mean is that how many of us suffer from both Anxiety and Gerd ?   Do you guys think

they are linked in some way ?

I suffer from both. I know that when my GERD acts up and hurts really bad it can and will trigger anxiety or panic attacks due to the pain it causes in my chest. I have begin living on ginger and peppermint due to how the help with the GI system.

I also have both but I had the anxiety way before the GERD so I can't say the anxiety caused the GERD.  I think mine was perhaps do to my poor eating habits.......................

Hope this helps you.

I suffer from both anxiety and GERD. I don't think they are related per say but like the other post, I do occasionary have panic attacks because of the GERD..."Am I having a heart attack"...that sort of thing. I started Prilosec a few months ago and between it everyday and the Klonopin prn, I think i about have it under control LOL

Take care

Hey thanks for clarifying that. I don't always have my thinking cap on!! IMHO I think they are linked. Have you seen a dietician about foods that may relieve some of the symptoms? I am a big fan of ginger too!

Best,

Meg
