[Francesca-H]

has anyone else had acid reflux...ive had pains behind my breastbone...lump in throat..but no heartburn i have been to the docs and she has told me its acid reflux....i have new tablets to help...i was fine for 2 days and now I'm having on and off pains again like i need to burp...now I'm constenstly thinking the worst...she told me having a camera would just be for my reassurance...can anxiety make this worse??

Yes I have the same. It's horrible the pains and when I eat I sit and wait for it to happen so by worry about it I'm making it worse . Had to change what I'm eating as well . Plus I have a bacterial stomach infection on antibiotics for that . They to have said about a camera. So yes anxiety has madeit worse for me .x

With acid reflux you must take the tablets regular don't miss any if your feeling better, it's takes time.

Eat at regular times an empty stomach isn't good either.

Gaviscon works when it's really bad too but you must look at what eating there's lots of triggers.

One doctor told me drink lots of milk but I then found and read that milk makes acid reflux worse.

Porridge is good for me when it's bad.

Just look up good and bad foods on the internet.

It does get better but takes some diet changes.

All the best DM
