Really stress and worry cause mine to come on it's very similar to heart pain you need to relax what do you eat please try deep breathing do something to take your mind off it and say calm when you breath out, a teqhnique also I was told breath in while counting to 4 hold for 7 big breath out see doctor again what strength are you on avoid cold water and acidy drinks especially sweeteners there arful

Im on 20mg they worked for 2 weeks but the past 2 days its come bk i tryed taking 2 tabs for 2 days but it still comes on later in the day ive not realy been eating at all as the anxiety that its giving me is stoping me from doing anything im so scared the pain is right in between my chest bone its not painful just uncomfortable i also keep getting a feeling like a burp is coming up but i cant get it out then a while later it starts to ache x

Yes it's the acid reflux I'll ask my mam she has it bad couldn't eat without the lanzaprozil you may have the start of a ulcer I had and it felt really raw and like a knife stress makes it spasm and causes more acid look up stress and ulcer, you need to eat something like soup to line it as not eating causes pain too have warm drinks not hot or cold make appointment with doctor if you ulcer hr give you something try to relax try something to distract your foccus on it I know it's hard

It helped me to relax my stomach muscles by having a couple glasses red wine watered down with hot water look it up red wine and indegestion it relaxes and numbs the pain you may need 3o mg once a day I don't recommend it with a ulcer though you can get a telephone call appointment with a doctor x

[Amandasullivan12 in reply to Hidden]

Ok thanks ill look into it roday it seemed to come n go abit but was more under like my left rib its like it can move around 🤷‍♀️ but i preffer that coz when its in the centre of my chest i cant help but think the worst x

Ok, first I’m sorry you feel like this. I also have GERD. If your dr didn’t prescribe you medication for it you can buy yourself over the counter. I buy omeprazole 20mg. I take it daily with my Zoloft. You will feel relief within 48 hours. Just remember to take it everyday and it should prevent that feeling in your chest.

The struggle continues...anxiety & depression

I’ve been working closely with my therapist and psychiatrist, but I still find myself battling these monsters. I’ve had this for probably for 30 yrs, but since after Christmas I found myself spiraling downward. Was furloughed for 2 mths and it was even worse. Been back to work since June 1 and feel much better, but I’m still struggling more than normal. Anyone else have similar issues. I met someone here and we provided each other a lot of support but sadly she just was hospitalized. If anyone has similar problems and it willing to chat privately I would love that.

Im always here if you need to chat i know all to well about anxiety its horrendous to go through and no one knows how it feels unless they have had it sometimes i can barely get out of bed i cant eat or sleep or think any nice thoughts and its realy hard as i have 3 children to look after which makes it more difficult to deal with but yh if you ever need to chat im here x
