Hi Melvin,

Ive been suffering with acid reflux and I feel unfit too cause I cant do any exercise like I used to. When I previously suffered with anxiety but no reflux I was able to go jogging, gym etc and I found it helped a lot with the panic. This time around I can't really do any exercise without getting breathless, even walking up the stairs was a struggle a few weeks ago which really scared me! Im convinced its to do with the acid reflux as the breathlessness only started when mine got really bad, I had the dizziness after exercise too.

I hate not being able to keep fit as I worry that it will affect my health as Ive never been really fit anyway! I know how you feel. Do you think yours might be due to the reflux or more from anxiety?

Hi, I found that I seemed to lose fitness very rapidly when anxiety and depression got the better of me. I found just going for a short walk would make me feel sick, weak, achy, feverish and dizzy and like I wanted to lie down wherever I was. This was quite a problem while I was still working. I think anxiety really takes it out of you, just being is so much more exhausting.

I also have acid reflux, was diagnosed just over a year ago. It does make exercise like running quite uncomfortable. I'm not sure what the link with the tiredness is though. I've been off work for nearly 3 months and I've started going to the gym in the past few weeks because I've felt well enough. I think I could easily get run down again though so I don't really know what the solution is.
