A member asked:

How do you treat gerd that is being caused by extreme stress/anxiety/depression? what do i do to treat this while i'm working on the anxiety disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antacid agent: Probably would still use a prescription acid reducing agent like Omeprazole while you are having your other medical conditions taken care of. Good luck.
