Acid Reflux depression relation?

I went to the doc about my chest pains.It was acid reflux.she asked me about my emotions and if things were going okay in my life.do you think theres a tie with depression and acid reflux.

i got zantac..i didnt pay a cent for it!

I think there is a relation, but not a direct one. Both are attributable to less than perfect health. Since I overcame depression and began to take care of my health, the acid reflux went away. I firmly believe they both had to do with poor eating habits and lack of exercise.

Could be. Have you got a prescription for your acid reflux?
The pills are pretty expensive and that is depressing in itself.
Me, I'm just opening a bottle of Maalox - Nightime with Acid Reflux barrier. Cheers!

Zantac is good but I got some trial prescription pills from my doctor that are miraculous. Unfortunately for me, the cost too much and it's a trade off between them and high speed internet. LOL!

I really find that you can go a long way by modifying your diet.
This latest bout was as a result of a chocolate milkshake, roasty beef and a coffee. Not a good combination. The chocolate milkshake alone would have caused this. I try to cut down on red meat and dairy products.

yes they are connected.. it is a miserable feeling..

Yes, but my only evidence is my own experience.

During the course of healing from a long depression, I've noticed an increase in acid reflux.

While peering into the past causes of the depression, both by myself and with and a therapist, when I hit a sensitive thought-pattern or experience, my entire gut spasms and it's as if I burp acid into my throat. Sorry, kinda gross.
Because depression puts your body under stress, and stressed people have other stomach problems, I'd guess that depression can worsen stomach problems like acid reflux.
