If the ER physician and nurses said you are okay (except the GERD which is totally common and treatable) then you're fine. ER doctors know what to look for when it comes to serious issues. Are people misdiagnosed? Sure, but not as often as you think and not usually for serious issues. I have a strong feeling you are a googler, if so, stop reading personal stories about how people are misdiagnosed! People have a tendency to only report bad things rather than good things. So of course you will find more doom and gloom instead of happy and fine online, especially when you are looking for it.

Sounds like you have classic GERD symptoms. My sister describes her GERD just like yours. Anxiety also messes with your gut. Your nervous system is a part of your digestive track. You have GERD and on top of that are freaking out. Try drinking some chamomile tea, it's great for GERD, anxiety, and upset tummies. Take the medication the doctor gave you, eat a bland diet for couple of days, and I bet you will feel better. Sometimes medications take awhile to start working. I had gastritis once and I had to take zantac and I felt it wasn't working, but I continued taking it. After about a week, I started feeling better. Give it time and be easy on yourself.

Hi there! Always trust in your doctors and tests. I don't know if this is your case, or not but i get physical pains, symptoms alot which for me are coming out from my subconscious. I know i have serious life situation problems that have to be solved,but im not in the position yet to solve them. Im still worrying about it but i shove it back in my subconscious. Alot of people do this i know, but for me it impacts me terribly! It's just how i am. When i try to discuss , the only thing i can do obviously the issues or fears, i feel better. Good luck.

I have anxiety and GERD. Anxiety definitely makes it worse. My doctor put me on medication for GERD when I was having a really stressful experience in my life. Your symptoms sound similar to mine. Keep taking the medication. You may also need a second one. I was taking two for GERD before my symptoms stopped. Maybe see you primary care doctor for a follow up from the ER. Feel free to message me for more info!
