Anyone else get this? I took a venlafaxine for the second time, the first was a couple of weeks ago, as I hate medication I stopped, the first time was fine, but I think this time either it worked super quick or the placebo effect got me.
I had this burning and panic on and off yesterday and I used to get it years ago when my anxiety was very bad, when I get really anxious I get a burning sensation in my chest, it sometimes spreads out further across my torso and to my jaw.
My nephew called a paramedic yesterday, my ECG was fine, she sent me to an out of hours GP, he said it was acid reflux.
The thing is it comes on exactly when I get very anxious, so maybe acid or adrenaline? Maybe it is acid but I am on Omeprazole already, I don't know.

Not looking for a diagnosis really, was just wondering if anyone else gets the same thing?

It will be your stomach for sure.

I'm more likely to get if i'm anxious/stressed.
