Nervous to go on Omeprazole in case it makes anxiety worse
I've been in a GERD flareup for about 3 months now, went 10 years without one but started having panic attacks and the GERD flared back up, I assume from the stress. I'm going to a therapist next month. Main symptoms are coughing, regurgitation, my throat was really inflamed for a while but that at least is a lot better now
For the last 3 weeks I've tried diet and lifestyle changes. I exercise, cut out anything that would set it off, sleep on an incline, working on calming myself. It hasn't gotten completely better yet, obviously it can take longer than that
I've considered a few times going on Omeprazole to help it get better more quickly because I do get anxious about the GERD itself sometimes. I've read though that the medicine can make anxiety worse and I'm terrified of that because I just started working on that
Any experiences either way with Omeprazole and anxiety?
