Re: Anxiety and heartburn?
In Response To: Anxiety and heartburn? ()

:Hi Kari,
I am new here. Have been on step one for 6 weeks. I find your connection to heartburn and anxiety very interesting. I too, suffer from both. I will pay more attention to see if there is a connection for me. I definitely have noticed that sugar gives me heart burn! I am also finding more and more that my physical symptoms are more connected to my emotions than I ever thought possible.

Apparently I have heartburn but I am
: one of those people who have no
: symptoms of it and no pain from
: it. I found out when I went to the
: ENT because I had a cough last
: year that lasted about 3 months
: and would not go away. It was
: caused from a bad case of acid
: reflux. Got it under control and
: the cough went a way.

: Last night I had a case of low level
: anxiety. But I also suspected I
: had heart burn. I felt a little
: pressure in my chest. Learning to
: pick up on different clues because
: I don't have the pain. So late
: last night I took two tums and the
: heartburn went away so did the
: anxiety. I felt like a totally
: different person. I still felt not
: quite right and emotional but I
: felt soooooo much better.

: I have noticed this is the past. When
: I have what I suspect is heartburn
: I also have low level of anxiety
: that goes along with it. Because I
: have not kept a consistant journal
: I have no way of going back and
: looking. This is something I would
: like to keep an eye on. Has anyone
: else ever noticed this.

: Also (TMI sorry) if for some reason I
: get gassy (which is rare) I get
: pretty bad anxiety and light
: headed and just feel plain ill.
