Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone else experiences this with GERD or acid reflux.
Some days when my GERD is worse, I start feeling detached, spaced out, or not fully “there.” Sometimes it almost feels like I’m high, even though I’m not. Today my GERD was worse than usual. I didn’t eat much, just an apple and some light snacks, then I drove to see my girlfriend for dinner.
While driving, I felt some vertigo/dizziness and started getting anxious, especially while looking at the long freeway ahead. The drive felt horrible and like it lasted forever. Later, I ate ramen for dinner, which I think was too rich and oily and probably made my reflux worse.
I’m wondering if anyone else gets GERD symptoms, then starts feeling weird/detached, which leads to anxiety and that feeling like you can’t breathe.
Right now I’ve only been taking famotidine. I also have omeprazole, but I’ve been nervous to take it because of side effects I’ve heard people mention.
Does anyone have experience with this or tips on how to manage it?
