hi i wonder if anyone can help im really getting depressed as my acid reflux is driving me mad. here i am again with a gurgling stomach, burps and discomfort around my chest bone. Seem to have a sore throat on and off also during the day. the doctor has prescribed omaprazole twice a day which has helped a bit.

also if i exert myself it builds up worse until i calm down and then receeds.

Does anyone else feel this way what can i do ?

    Anxiety makes everything worse and patience is key. The body naturally wants to heal so as long as you're not making your symptoms worse, they'll slowly get better with time. Some integrative doctors argue that GERD is a neurological issues because digestion is regulated by the vagus nerve. Dizziness, sore throat, slow digestion, stomach pain, stomach acid issues, etc. can all be connected to a dysfunctional vagus nerve. So try and do some breathing exercises to regulate your nervous system, it can only help 😉
