Hello,

I thought for all these years I had something wrong with me and that this issue is fixable, I had tests (endoscopy and PH tests) but it turns out nothing is wrong with me.

I've suffered anxiety during the first COVID lockdown and that's when all these issues started. I no longer feel anxious (this stopped a year ago) yet these acid reflux issues continue. I'm taking a PPI and H2 blocker as well as gaviscon when the other two don't work, I also have to control my diet as some things set off my reflux. When the meds don't work I get chest pain, acid reflux and sometimes heart palpitations.

The only option that seems to be left which I was told is to completely rule out anxiety? I do not feel anxious anymore like I did in the first lockdown but I'm guessing there's still physical anxiety there without me feeling it causing these symptoms? Otherwise I'm completely lost and I guess there's no way of ever fixing this discomfort I face almost daily.

Has anyone else had acid reflux but no issues with them? Did getting help for anxiety or medication for it work even if they do not feel anxious?  Or has anyone had this issue?
