Hey everyone
i am newish to Gerd, was diagnosed 6 weeks ago only and never had issues before that...thankfully. Ive had bad health anxiety for 8 months and its led to this moment.
i had endoscopy in december and there was zero wrong...not even smallest thing.
i am taking ppi's bt still have issues daily.
I have a sensation always in my throat that i have phlem there and its very frustrating which i knw makes it worse...bt hey; im human...frustration is natural
i have hopes to overcome evrrything, i am only 29 years old, blood tests frm last week showed i have good health, all blood tests i cud ask for i got to help with my anxiety.
I would love some advice of how to stop stressing over GERD and hw to accept living with it. I have a positive outlook that it means i have to lice a healthier lifestyle bt find i allow my anxiety to get the better of me. Any advices for suffering with GERD AND GLOBUS? i did not need any tests according to my doc and throat specialist, both very confident its gerd and globus.
Thanks guys

Often we make ourselves worse by worrying about things that are not there. I struggled with gerd for 20 yrs until a GP diagnosed my condition, put me on a PPI and now life is wonderful HOWEVER, there is a learning curve and I suspect you are going through that now.
First of all the PPI isn't a fix all drug, you have to do your bit and also you have to find the right dose and sometimes drug. I was lucky, put on lanzoprosole straight away and it works for me. Initial dose was 15 didn't work, dr put me up to 30 great.
I also have to watch what I eat otherwise I can trigger it and its important to eat regularly, little and often I was told otherwise you aggrevate it. As you can see many options but I would start by looking at your lifestyle and diet, I don't eat acidic foods, only one fizzy drink and watch spicy stuff, best of luck

You are so young (I am nearly 70) to suffer from this, I am beginning to wonder what on earth it is that is making us all so poorly. Is it all of these additives in our food, there has to be some reason.
Try not to worry. I am a born worrier and I am a fine one to talk.
