Just a quick one! :)
Wondering if anyone else gets really bad indigestion/heartburn with anxiety or if they're linked?

Every time I eat (especially at lunch time in work) I get really bad pains and if I don't burp, the pains normally make me sick. I think it's a build up of gas but I've only ever suffered with it since my anxiety started.

Anyone else have anything similar to this? Or are they completely unrelated?

Thanks in advance

CT.,

Anxiety and GERD can be a comorbidity issue...meaning they are seperate disorders existing together.

One can feed off the other certainly.

Have you talked to your GP about treating the GERD symptoms?

This along with anxiety management should give you a two pronged approach in dealing with all of this.

You may also want to talk to the folks in the GERD forum here is you have not done so already.:)

Wishing you peace and progress!

Hi S.C! :)
Didn't know that! Not been to the doctor about it yet, thought it would pass but seems to be getting worse...will definitely have a look at the GERD forum, thanks! :)
