Can worrying cause indigestion?

Hi everyone
I posted a few days ago bout heartburn/wind
Anyway, it's still there but not as bad, yesterday I wasn't thinking so much about it and was fine but today i can feel it and I'm worrying again, I'm constantly burping which relieves it for a bit but then it's back, it feels quite high up and right in the middle above my boobs, can also feel it in my throat, sounds strange but my chest feels like it hurts when I touch it, I'm going away tomorrow for a girls night and leaving my children, I'm wondering if this is because im nervous x

Have you had any tests done for GERD/acid reflux? It actually is one of the major causes of anxiety in adults, so you may find that by curing that your anxiety subsides! Have a look online for symptoms of GERD. It's a perfectly harmless but bothersome illness that's easily controlled by medication and/or a change in eating habits/lifestyle, so don't worry :)

It could also be IBS which I suffer from. Not fun but again, not life threatening :)
