Reflux caused by nerves? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

I was told I have reflux, not like the kind people usually have w/heartburn etc. It's caused by nerves & I notice if I get upet I can feel a coughing, choking feeling coming on in my throat. Has anyone heard of this just wondering how to treat it. Thought maybe a mild antidepressent would help. Thanks

Sounds like LPR. LPR is harder to treat than GERD. You can try ppis, like prilosec, nexium etc.

i have panic attacks and generalised anxiety disorder and lately i have been having trouble with my stomach. the doctor reckons its gallstones and i have been prescribed ranitidine (300mg) if you suffer from anxiety in general i'd advise a trip to your gp and have a chat with him about med's

Thanks, he just prescribled .25 Xanax as needed to sleep. The anxiety keeps me from going to sleep can't shut my mind off. I don't think that would help during the day though.

I too have panic attacks/GAD and stomach issues. I was just wondering what kind of tummy issues you are currently having. And if the ranitidine is actually working.

Thanks.
