Can anxiety or fear in general,cause acid reflux ?

No, anxiety does not cause acid reflux. If you’re experiencing acid reflux frequently, you could treat it with over-the-counter antacids initially. If following anti-reflux precautions and this trial of antacids does not work, see your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.
