Can stress/anxiety cause espphagitis or a burning throat?

Definitely: Stress & anxiety can cause almost any symptom you can think of and affect everyone differently. The key to controlling it is to control the stress and reduce anxiety. There are some short-term meds that might be in order but the best results come with working with a therapist to learn to control the stress. See your md for a referal for help.
