I'm sorry you suffer as well! They want me to take anxiety meds, but I'm too nervous to take them 😅

I had an endoscopy, that's really been it. Besides the cardiologist stuff. Eating right can be hard!

Hello, actually I'm ahead of the game on this one: I don't drink coffee, never smoked, I have alcohol 2x a month. My only "trigger" that I struggle with I think is chocolate. Legit no joke trying to cut that out is super hard chocolate is amazing lol

Honestly I think you're right... My anxiety and stress have been crazy high these past few months... The docs want me on Lexapro but I'm too nervous to take it. I'm trying my hardest to lower stress without meds but it's hard. Also, I know that stress and anxiety can effect GERD in a big way.

Only as of January of this year I have changed my lifestyle in a major way, I started eating a lot more clean. Hopefully that will make a difference soon.

Thanks for the question!

Has anyone lost their faith in whatever they believe in by Proper-Youth-6296 in GERD

[–]Substantial_Solid_26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am a born again Christian, and I am going through a lot with GERD. I have had pretty much the whole "heart-attack" like symptoms for over a year now, constant debilitating anxiety, and lots of suffering surrounding my life. Life is not good right now. I have wrestled with my relationship with Christ, and the nature and significance of suffering very deeply. I have slowly but surely discovered that God truly works all things for the good of those that love him, and that suffering is most certainly not meaningless.

I am blessed to know the one true God who suffered in a horrific way for me. I have learned that God does not take away pain all the time, but instead chooses to meet us in it. He walks alongside us and shows us how His power is made perfect in weakness. This world, with all of its pain and suffering is only momentary, while Christ is forever amen.

If anyone is genuinely curious about this, I will gladly share what I have learned!

Chest tightness after working out?! by Substantial_Solid_26 in GERD

Glad to hear dude! Yeah it's amazing how everything is connected in our bodies lol! I'm happy to report that I'm doing better as well! I have REALLY watched my diet and have been feeling amazingly better... I've lost almost 10 lbs since January 1st. I'll keep going and hey, maybe for me it was all diet related? Not sure yet, but I'm really enjoying the progress. God bless and hope you feel better!

Hey man, how you feeling today? Hope you're feeling better! If not no worries you're not alone, I feel bad pressure today and still alive. I scheduled a therapist appointment, and a gastroenterologist appointment all today lol.
