is this anxiety? has anyone ever felt like this?

good day everyone,
i hope that you are all doing well, i have not posted on here for a while
i read post all the time and some of the feelings are very familiar to me, i have been doing well for the past few months, but recently my GERD acted up and it has been giving me some really weird feelings. My question is, earlier today after leaving work this heavy feeling came over me, my body felt so heavy and then i felt as though i was getting shortness of breath, then i started burping a lot, my throat became really dry, it really scared me and i felt as though my legs had become jelly, it really scared me. has anyone ever had those feelings before? that feeling is new to me, its still with me but not as much and i noticed a tingling and stinging. i am still burping though.
any response is welcomed, i really need your help guys am freaking out. thanks for all the replies and hope that we all have an anxiety free night.

Hi BL,

I have had GERD that a has made me feel all over ill. It sounds like you became symptomatic with the stomach issue, that then triggered your anxiety...causing other symptoms. :/

Treating both the GERD and working your coping skills to manage the anxiety will help you to your all around best. This is also helpful since, as you experienced...the two issues can feed into each other.

Peace and progress!

BL,

I had some stomach issues when my anxiety was at its worst. The pain was so bad, I was pretty certain I had an ulcer at one point...but the test was negative.

I have since lessened both my anxiety and stomach discomfort...with only occasional issues, such as heartburn.

Managing the anxiety helped to bring the other issue into line for me. I hope you find the same for your situation.
