A member asked:
My prescription pain medicine doesn't seem to work as well when i'm stressed. could this be bc of my gerd?

Probably not: Stress often intensifies your feelings including pain. Talk to your doctor about help with your stress or seek the help of a counselor/psychiatrist. Often chronic pain is rooted in and made worse by depression and anxiety.
