acid reflux or not?

[KatieRichie94]

my breathing has been getting really uncomfortable. I'm burping like crazy and sweaty palms and feet. I have chest pain. Could this be my anxiety acting up or should I go get it checked at the emergency room?

Get it checked, Katie, could be Hietus hernia which can be eased with tablets.

I'm seeing a gynecologist in 3 weeks.

I meant to say gastoenterologist.

the burping is key here. without it this would be scary, with it, reflux for sure. Can you go to a walk in clinic tomorrow to get something a little stronger than the run-of-the-mill over the counter acid reducers? Do go see someone though, maybe not in emergency but as soon as you can becasue there's no point in extra suffering especially for someone dealing with Health Anxiety.

I meant to look this up for you before — the acid reducer med I was prescribed when mine got super bad and landed me in the ER is called Omerazole. Breathing issues is always the symptom that shows up first for me which I suppose is why it never occurred to me to think there was an issue with my stomach!

If u r taking PLAVIX? You and your Dr can prescribe a similar but doesn't effect it? I tend to hyperventilate with my stress but please get checked no matter what! hope u feel better soon

The burbing and chest pains sounds like acid reflux the other symptoms sound like anxiety. The symptoms you are feeling have obviously made you feel anxious. I would take some antacids and do some breathing techniques if you still don't feel better get it checked out to put your mind at rest xxx
