Yes: People who have chronic heartburn often report that it is worse during times of stress. If you are currently on medications for heartburn, they may need to be increased or adjusted. Following anti-reflux measures is a good idea in this situation also. If you are able to get the stress under control, you might notice an improvement in your symptoms. Good luck.
