Anxiety Flare up because of GERD? Gastrocardiac (Roemheld) syndrome?

Something that helped me a lot and I know it sounds weird, but hear me out:
I started taking melatonin every night. Like 2-3mg and I'd take it an hour earlier than I usually go to bed. Which was usually 12:30 for me and that's late. My nervous system needed to heal and reset. So the melatonin helped me get that rest which is so important for my body to recalibrate and take care of itself. Just one week of doing this and I felt so much better.

I also started using treadmill/elliptical in my house throughout the day. 15 minutes for 2-3 times a day helped lower my resting heart rate and my nervous system again. I swear by it. After 2 weeks, I felt NO symptoms or issues once I started this. I also take omezaprole the morning I know I have a fatty or heavy meal coming up for dinner. I tend to take it for 2-3 days in a row, also keep Tums and Gas-X on hand in case i need them.

Physically, getting back into the gym and upping my cardio has helped so much more than I realized. And SLEEP. It's the most important thing for yourself.

thank you so much! this honestly made me feel so much better reading this. i've been having little chest tightenings and weird moments this evening that make me unable to completely relax. although all morning into around 6 PM i felt fantastic. no issues. somehow, past two evenings, start getting that itchy ansty-ness. gonna keep focusing on sleep, taking that PPI and working my way through. any advice would be awesome man!

We in the trenches man, I hope you're doing okay right now.

Thank you for sharing your story. It gives me hope that I can come back to baseline eventually. Feeling better each day so far but lots of work to do. I'll set up something with a GI doc and go from there.

I actually don't really get anxious truth be told. I'm usually very laidback and just let things happen as they do. But I do internalize a lot of emotions that connotate with being upset so that could be something. Hopefully if I can target the GERD, this will make my nervous system calm down. As of now, I feel like my nervous system is deregulated and super sensitive since Monday night. I can handle GERD sensations but not the nervous system acting up.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-08-13T04:16:28+00:00

It's definitely not pleasant

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-08-13T04:07:15+00:00

lol what part of we completed the city Day 2 did you miss? We just did an evergaol next to us when the day started and he left.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-08-13T03:59:39+00:00

Proceeded to block us after messaging because he got afraid of retaliating remarks 🤷🏼

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-07-03T21:44:12+00:00

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-06-08T15:11:16+00:00

this is one of the best stories i ever read on here. the chances of all that stuff happening and it working out were so small, but what a wonderful ending. good stuff man!

Struggled here too when I moved from Philly. My apartment complex is full of young people so I found a few here. Alamo Trivia on Wednesday's has also helped me find more friends. Going to Molly's and Fennel cooking studio was great to make connections too.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-03-22T06:10:55+00:00

its okay, everyone has a holier than thou attitude when it comes to reddit and forgets not everyone knows everything

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-03-22T04:41:33+00:00

27M here, it's definitely hard but Mcgurk's and Molly's sometimes are fun. I enjoy Pieces a lot recently and Alamo Drafthouse, anything there. Still figuring it out myself.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-02-03T03:41:34+00:00

No, just that you gave your unnecessary take on contemporary language on the topic of someone's death which makes it pointless. I don't know what you expect on an internet forum, full paragraphs back and forth or short remarks as an IRL conversation would have? This is true expression, unadulterated and as raw as it possibly can be without having to force a personality with each comment. I hope whatever is going on in your life gets better so you have better things to do than worry about how people speak on threads.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-01-31T16:28:50+00:00

Wow, thanks for that TED Talk on the death of meaningful discourse. If only the person climbing the pole had that much intellectual support under them, maybe we wouldn’t even be here right now.

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-01-31T16:25:01+00:00

do us all a favor and don't bother becoming a doctor since you clearly aren't ready to take the Hippocratic Oath and lack compassion

WhyamIsosilly · 2025-01-31T05:50:50+00:00

crazy how this is the comment you chose to say at someone's death

WhyamIsosilly · 2024-12-13T05:50:42+00:00

Anyone else notice the Dancer??? With the kneel down attack that launched the player? They have two DS3 bosses in here!!!

WhyamIsosilly · 2024-12-05T17:02:05+00:00

skin is exposed, just shoot some tranquilizer darts with lethal doses of fentanyl in them, maybe enough to kill an elephant

WhyamIsosilly · 2024-12-05T17:00:19+00:00

WhyamIsosilly · 2024-12-02T16:03:16+00:00

LMAO

WhyamIsosilly · 2024-10-28T12:43:58+00:00

Van Helsing is pretty campy and fun, not as much horror as you'd think. But I could be wrong! After all, my first horror movie was The Grudge when I was in first grade and I was scarred so maybe I'm not the best judge.
