Hi Mckeehand, the Prilosec should help but only if you are watching what you eat and/or drink. Anxiety and fear produce more acidity to the stomach so trying to relax more through meditation and deep breathing can help the medication work better.

Break throughs of our anti anxiety meds is common when we are so afraid. We need to accept that anxiety will not harm us. It is a negative though being manufactured in our minds and not a physical issue. Make sure when you do eat tht it is in a quiet atmosphere. No tv, playing video games or chatting on the cell. Meal time needs to be a time to be calm and enjoy your food swallowing no extra gulps of air when chewing your food.

Of course if it continues your doctor may put you on something else. I mentioned watching what you eat because I noticed 7 days ago you had Chili. Probably not the best of choices with GERDS. Feel Better. x
