AnxiousM

I haven't posted for a while and am getting to the point of sheet frustration.
I don't know if this is anxiety driven, it certainly doesn't feel anxiety driven because there are physical effects which I notice.
I'd never suffered from stomach acid until about 2 years ago, which coincides to when I started my new job, which I don't particularly have any stress or worries about. I suffer from stomach acid, have 30mg lanzaprezole, having sometimes 3 weeks of feeling ok then I'll have a couple of weeks of feeling terrible.
I am healthy and watch my diet, kept out fatty foods, spicey foods, pastry etc. I'm not over weight, I haven't gained/lost weight. When I get a turn for the worse I feel exhausted, when I drive to and from work and whilst i'm in work I feel like falling asleep, I feel pale and weak as well. The acid burns not up my oesopaghus but pretty much constantly just under my breast bone.
If I weight train or lift above my head I get pvc's and sometimes if I am doing sport I'll all of a sudden feel very sick and gaggy. I try not to take the lanzeprzole all the time, the last time I had the acid bad I took one in the morning then the next day it'd gone, but it went without a trace, almost too good to be true?!
I've had blood tests a while back, all normal, and waiting on an endoscopy. What's really annoying is that it is ruling my day to day life, I want to be able to do things an not always feel like a hypochondriac. Strangely, if I'm at home, concentrating on something, I pretty much feel normal. If I go out or to work it is triggered off a little.
As you can tell I'm going around in circles, waking up hoping that I don't feel like crap all day is a regular feeling for me. Do I have a hiatus hernia, is it in my head???????
Has anyone felt the same way? I can't tell you how frustrating this is for me, I don't want this for the rest of my life. I'm in my 30's and have a young family and I want to be able to share everything with them and not have to worry about having a PVC or heartburn or feeling so tired and weak I can't do anything. When I do go to the gym I can still lift as much, so physically I'm as strong but I feel drained, like I don't have any oomph?
Can anyone relate?
I went to the doctor again with my frustration... He said I'm healthy, doesn't think they'll find anything at endoscopy and that I might just be someone who produced more acid than others... One thing I do know is that before suffering with anxiety 3 years ago I never had anything like this!
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
