Question 7

33, f, acid reflux disease, does it cause malnutrition or loss of vitamins or does the regular use of antacids cause it?

Accepted Answer

No, nothing serious: Acid reflux disease, sometimes called, GERD does not cause any nutritional effects. Most antacids used to treat acidity are benign and of minimal consequences.

Question 8

can anxiety cause following symptoms. tingling fingers and toes, numbness in back of thigh. headache in right temple, acid reflux and sleep loss?

Accepted Answer

Although it' could: It seems a bit unlikely. Anxiety can exacerbate or cause many physical symptoms. Before i would assume it was all what used to be called psychosomatic, i would encourage you to be evaluated by a physician to rule out any physical illness. If you are feeling anxious it would be wise to learn relaxation techniques and speak with a psychologist as well about life issues making you anxious.
