Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety-Heartburn: With continued symptoms you need to get checked again. No MD, but have a lot pt. with anxiety. Anxiety can create a heightened state of arousal that can increase stomach upset and acid, so even if you have anxiety, you could have very real stomach issues as a result. If correct, should go away with Pepcid or the like, but follow up with Doc, make sure nothing more. Psychotherapy too
