Sorry you are going through this.
Maybe, you need to see a specialist. What did the nurse say when you told her about your symptoms? Did she refer you somewhere else?
I had the worst palpitations ever and I thought it was anxiety but then I also used to feel nauseaus as well. Plus, I just felt like if this doesn't end then I just don't wanna live.
So, then I had a urine test at the hospital like at urgent care and they discovered I had a UTI. After I took the antibiotics, I felt a whole lot better. My palpitations were completely gone!! No nausea! However, the anxiety is still here.
Your case might be different but I thought I just let you know that sometimes UTI s can make you feel pretty horrible.
Try to eat Fennel seeds after each meal for easy digestion and for reduction of acid builup. It will definitely help you.
Hope you feel better soon. I am so sorry. I know it's really really hard to feel this awful and go through life on a daily basis.
take care,
hugs,
Misha

I replied to you but my response was deleted by the moderator I think because I had mentioned a multivitamin by a certain company for keeping calm. So strange because someone else had mentioned it to me as well here on this forum.
Anyway, I hope you feel better. Yoga, meditation and deep breathing and walking helps a lot.
I know its really hard but what can you do. Just take it one day at a time. I self-talk a lot and do self- affirmations. Try it, please.
take care,
hugs and love,
Misha

i too have started to suffer with acid refux. I was on a few meds and I think my stomach just decided to give up, anyway this will help. Try raising your bed head by 4-10cm this will keep the acid down at night. My Dr recommended eating stewed green apple everyday with cinnamon, I made bone broth which the GAP diet recommends to heal the gut. Eat hot meals, and limit cold food. It's easier for your stomach to digest. Limit acid forming foods. Just keep it simple. I eat a soup every day nice and easy on the stomach and wait 3 hours before going to bed. It will calm down. Being anxious is not helping so take something to relax you, better to be calm then stressed out all day. See a GP and get Valium or paxam or any anti anxiety meds until you get it under control. It's not nice not being able to sleep, you then wake up worrying. It's just hormones and they are a bunch of b*stards....I have been able to calm my stomach down, it will work..... .
good luck. you are not suffering alone. It will pass.
