I don't know how the anxiety affects the meds... but anxiety definately increases the reflux.

It affects Gerd like you wouldn't believe. I went through some nasty panic attacks in June and my reflux was out of control. Just keep taking your meds for Gerd try and get your attacks under control. PM me if you need some more advice.

Yeah I would say my panic attacks are all Gerd related instead of fight or flight I get gerd in my head.I suffer from hypochondria agoraphobia and anxiety..Its almost making anxoeric because of the heartburn..
