Why it worsens when I think about my Gerd ?

I have Gerd with all known symptoms, but it worsens when I think about it, if I am with friends or out of home, I don't feel it at all until I eat acidic foods, but when I am alone and start thinking about it, it starts and worsens without even eating acidic foods. Why ?

    Hi,

    Stress can make your stomach acid bubble up, so just thinking about it is causing some stress, the more you stress the more the volcano erupts..

    Regards
