Hi Barrio,

Sorry to hear that your stress levels were so high. Did you let anyone know that you had a panic attack. Your ability to complete the exam would have been affected. You might be able to re-sit the exam.

Heartburn, also known as acid reflux, can cause numerous symptoms that may lead to significant anxiety, especially if you are prone to health anxiety or panic attacks.

Many of the symptoms of anxiety cause further anxiety. The cyclical nature of anxiety is one of the reasons that anxiety can be hard to treat without some type of outside intervention. You experience anxiety, then you experience very frightening symptoms, and then you experience anxiety over those symptoms.

This is the case with anxiety and heartburn.

Heartburn can be caused by anxiety. Anxiety can also cause worsening of heartburn.

The question of how to deal with anxiety and heartburn is answered in the article below.
