Does anyone else have anxiety and panic tied to stomach acid? I've been suffering from Acid Reflux for many years; but have lost 40 pounds lately and have started only taking my medicine off and on.
The last two nights I have had really bad stomach acid burning my esophagus and refluxing into my mouth. I can handle that but the weirdest thing is how it makes me feel when I sleep.
I get this really odd altered mental state where I feel like i'm going crazy and nothing makes sense. I don't know if I'm half asleep when it happens; but last night when I shut my eyes I thought that the Nazis were blackmailing me by holding my family hostage so that I would help them; but I really didn't want to. My heart rate would beat really fast (120 or so), and I would think things like I was in a prison cell; and trees were talking to me etc. The weird thing is, it was only when my eyes were closed and I was trying to fall asleep. When my eyes were open; I was completely lucid and composed.
I have noticed this in the past where stomach acid has a weird effect on me; and makes me loopy when it occurs at night. I know that some people used to talk of "indigestion dreams" when they ate some weird food; could this be the same?
