Mid Jan I got these to help with indegestion as it was also causing palpatations. Seemed to help at start but my general day to day anxiety has increased and I am on edge a lot more(twitching muscles and verge of panic attack a lot). You know when you can feel in your body your taking something?
This maybe totally unrelated, and just my anxiety is at its worse but the cross over and constant increased feelings of anxiety (usually came in bouts or when I was ill mainly) is something i havent had for a long while so I do wonder if there is any link? I never even thought anything about it til I thought of the timescale.
Any help or insight would be brill
Mostly likely it's from the bloating or indigestion you probably still have on occasions? Anyway if that's the case, then all that can screw with your breathing and throw it off making you feel like it's harder to breath properly. Which then can stress you out and cause increased anxiety.
I go through this when I eat too much or eat the wrong foods that I'm not suppose to eat with my GERD. The pantoprazole I take helps for the most part, but not always, so when I get like that I take a Tums as added supplement to get all that wind out or get rid of the indigestion. And then I'll notice my intense anxiety fade away.
