Short answer Halfwayhome.......YES
Gaviscon does help as do other antacids but like all of this it is important to look at diet and the underlying causes of the stress.

Yes anxiety and stress does cause acid reflux. I had it for months solid and the doctor put it down to stress. It is a painful thing.x

Equally you need to look at....
spicy food
alcohol
smoking
caffeine
rich foods
All will contribute.

Yes,
I suffer on a regular basis from this , am on omeprazole for it.
Sometimes adjusting your diet can help, things like alcohol, red wine, garlic, onion, mixed herbs, even chocolate along with tomato based products can make it worse. Hope tht helps a bit xx

Hi
Try taking ginger tablets from H&B, they worked for me, now hardly have to take Lanzoprozole
hi,
im thinking i might have this as well....at first i thought it was just the anxiety lump in the throat, but lately i have had so much burping and acid taste in my mouth....i think it might be acid reflux...ive had a really stressful year this year....i think its given me a sore throat too..but im not getting the heartburn..which i read is also normal..does anyone else know a bit more about this? is there more info on acid reflux on this forum?...im learning so much about what stress can do to your body this year!!! never before have i had any of these symptoms...
i too would be interested in learning more about acid reflux as ive recently been told i have this except i dont have the acid taste in my throat and mouth but i have had stomach problems.
Hi, I am on 2 lansoprazole tabs per day and have had an acid problem for about 2 years ans i am still waiting for an endoscopy. one of the main problems i have is stomach pains from the acid build up every morning when i wake up. its like a numb pain which goes once im up and move around. also i have an extreme tiredness all day and my eyes feel especially tired. i find it hard 2 keep certain foods down and it is a hard condition 2 live with. the tablets did work at 1st but gradually the syptoms have come back. and even though i am very tired i find it difficult 2 relax and slepp at night, and then find it difficult 2 get up in the morning. the medication has effected my bowel movement so i eat well and take 2 doses or fibresure daily which has really helpped. i have had every blood test going but all came back normal. my mind will be at rest when i know 4 sure what is causing this, when i eventually get an endoscopy on the NHS (if they ever will!!). but until then it is making me very worried and pesimistic. does anyone have similar symptoms, such as the morning pains and tiredness?? x
