It seems like when I think my anxiety is gone something pops up! So today I started getting the bad butterflies in my stomach and when I ate a granola bar this morning a strange minty/cold feeling started down my throat to my stomach, like a cool numbness you get from peppermints. It has been with me all day but gets a little stronger when I eat. I've always suffered from mild acid reflux but this is weird!

    I have a acid reflux disorder and that sounds like what it is. You do get this feeling of minty/acidity in your throat. Drink milk smile you'll be okay. Plus anxiety does cause acid reflux so you being anxious will definitely make that last long. Remember we all know these feelings so don't feel alone, and just relax.

      Hi! I've been distracting myself a lot today and my symptoms have really improved! I still have that mint feeling but it is more mild now. Thank you for replying!
