Mouth ulcers and heartburn-really frightened

[sunflower7]

Hi There,
I have been getting heartburn for a while now but recently I have been getting mouth ulcers which last for a few days then come back again in the same place. I looked on the internet and have seen that lots of auto immune conditions can cause reccuring mouth ulcers and now I am REALLY worried :weep:. Do you think the two things could be linked?? Please can someone help me.

Regards

Thanks for your help. I have got myself convinced that I have an auto immune condition. I already have underactive thyroid and ME. I know I shouldnt google but ALWAYS do. I really need to stop.

Thanks again

Hi there

If you have ME then you're going to find that you're more prone to other things as well. For a lot of people, mouth ulcers seem to occur when you're not running on all cylinders - such as round the time of your period, or when you get a cold.

Heartburn is very closely linked with stress! At one point, I used to get it for WEEKS at a time (I think my record was about 6 weeks without a break).
