Hi everyone, I am new here- joined a few days ago after lurking for a while and have just been able to log on! I have had anxiety for 8 yrs. that is mostly "health anxiety" centered around my heart. I am having a severe attack of GERD so I feel like I'm having a heart attack almost all the time :( A lot of the posts and stickies I've read here have already helped me so thank you very much.

I thank you for the welcome! I have been on prilosec, zantac and pepcid ac, unfortuately they all cause me to have severe panic attacks and other nasty side effects. I am now trying DGL, papaya enzymes and organic honey and it is sloooowwly helping. My biggest issues are anxiety and a little OCD just for fun:D
