Last night I was worrying soo much literally sick to my stomach that today I have bad heart burn. I took tecta and it hasn't helped , I took it this morning. Does anyone else get bad heart burn from severe anxiety?? how can I stay calm and make it go away ??? I have a really stressful situation that's happening next week and for the next 16 days that's literally killing me inside.

Bam,

Anxiety can do a number on our guts...whether it is nausea, indigestion, heartburn, or farther along in the process. (intestinal/diarrhea)

Keep taking your PPI, as it can be awhile before relief is noted..

Also try to keep your meals bland, smaller/more frequent...rather than 3 larger ones.

...and of course, keep working on your stress relief exercises/coping skills.

I hope you feel better soon...heartburn is no fun.:(

Well wishes!

S.C.

Bam I swear I never had heartburn except when pregnant until my panic disorder started a few years ago. Even then I had no heartburn but now it's constant! My anxiety has done something to my gut for sure..
Just logged on here to look for posts related to how I'm feeling.
I share your pain:(

I'm late to this but I've been on a trip for a wedding. Meeting new people and flying both huge triggers for me.
Past 2 nights I've bee. Suffering from some severe heartburn/ indigestion or something.

I have to agree with what SC said though. I also have been eating way too much since my husband wanted to take me to all his old fav spots here. When I'm home and on a normal routine I try to eat little meals more frequent and it does not bother me as much. Still get it sometimes but not alot.

Here's hoping it goes away lol I have a flight to catch in 4 hrs =/
