I won't google cause I'm terrified its going to say that its life threating

[Prayer for Anxiety]

Anthony... try to remember. It will pass. Have hope that things will get better.
Could be related to Ativan wean... why are you so afraid of the ER?

[Exactice]

Had a bad case of Acid Reflux and GERD. Went to the doctor. Im on Omeprazole, and Zyntac when needed. Its happens, go to the doctor, I dont think its life threatening but you might need some Acid Inhibitors etc.

Its stressful but hang in there, you can get through this!

Anthony you have reflux obviously and you are hypochondriac, like most of us. I am dying at least once a months for the last ........many decades:))
I am not kidding. I am on tecta for the reflux which is very often in anxious people:0

[Exactice]

Anthony... My cholesterol is 245, still higher than 216. 216 is high but still close to 200. I agree with Dahila, a little bit of being a hypochondriac.

[Dahila]

BTw some people have bit higher cholesterol and it is typical for them. Then exercising and eating soft fruit like berries will lower it very soon. No chips on fries, and it goes down :)

I've learned that the mind can create illness. My anxiety makes me think I am about to pass out, or have a brain tumor, or am dying, almost daily.
Have to control it! Take medicine for the GERD. That is the biggest anxiety-giver out there. It can really mess with your head. Once you GERD is under control, and you calm down, you'll feel 100%.

[Exactice]

AV, I agree!!! GERD really is a trigger for anxiety. It has so many similar sensations. I say get your GERD in check first and go from there!
