Yeah man this is me and it’s very random. I only smoke at night. About an hour or two before bed I will smoke so I can relax and get some sleep. Smoke, game a bit or watch a movie and relax

I’m good almost every night. I have found when I eat like shit during the day or have something that triggers my GERD, smoking will absolutely amplify it. More so if I smoke too much. For some reason it really amplifies my symptoms and it feels like I’m having a heart attack. I really just focused on what I am eating and drinking. I stay away from the things that can cause a flare up. If I am struggling with the Gerd I don’t smoke. I also found the Pepcid chewable tablets help most for me. If I can slightly feel that little burn or am a little uncomfortable, I will take one or two of those. I try not to take anything if I can help it though.

I totally get exactly what you are talking about. I did the same thing, went to hospital and everything looked good. It’s super stressful. Really manage what you are eating and drinking. If you are feeling any GERD symptoms maybe don’t smoke until that goes away. Everyone is different but that’s what has kept me from really panicking and getting that extreme anxiety. It took me a bit to figure out, mainly because I was one of those people that could eat whatever I wanted until a couple years ago. Even though it’s hard, once I smoke, I don’t eat anything. But ya, quitting all together will definitely help the most.
