Hi Colby. You need to get something for that acid quickly. I had the same problem on Monday night. Felt like I swallowed cayenne pepper .... sooooo painful. I purchased a product called Somac and swallowed some double strength Gaviscon. I feel better.

I'd also suggest to ditch coffee and acidic foods foods.

Talk to your Dr about the muscle twitching. Perhaps you can be given something for it.

As hard as it is, try and remain calm. Hope you feel better really soon!

Excess acid from the stomach is known as acid reflux and is easily treated with an anti-acid medicine you can get from your doctor. The muscle twitching, if it occurs at night only when you are going to bed, may be indicative of the so called restless legs syndrome and that, also, is easily treated by medicines available from your doctor. Without any further information from you it is difficult to offer advice about your problems. Neither of these things are not caused by anxiety, Anxiety is a product of the mind and your problems seem to be of a physiological nature, Please consult your GP.

I don't think I eat acidic foods alot I tried avoiding itt

I suffer from both too, im now on omeprzole which has helped massively. I'm still searching for a twitch cure too! So annoying and brings my anxiety in so quickly if it's strong :( see your GP as said above and you will be better off.

Not what you're looking for?
