I have Noticed that if I smoke cigs or drink caffine alot, or eat food that gives me bad stomach acid. I might have an attack. Can having bad stomach acid casue an attack....I begin to burp also...or get a sharp pain in my chest while the bubble passes up..this alone gets my attacks going. Anybody else have this problem....sorry if this has been talked about before..I used to the search but couldnt find anything on it.
Any feedback would help
Thanks
-Venik

hi venik..i answered your other post too..i used to have the exact same problem..too many smokes ,too much tea..the burping would start,the shooting pains in my chest and then the attacks..but i did notice that my depression played a major part in my attacks..i controlled my acidity by taking a 10 day antaacid course..i still smoke as much and drink that much tea..but my depression is under control and so r my attacks.also try and keep your acid levels under control by eating something every 3 hours..it really helped me...hope this helps..please ask me anything else you want to i seem to have got this problem under control for now(touchwood)but i do know how horrible it is..love sanju

I never found this section before and this is the one I have been really looking for. yesterday I was so so so hungry iate very fast ( forgetting) The food just "stuck" and whooosh--a Major anxiety attack followed by a very fast visit to the bathroom...Does anyone else ever get this. It seems my body functions alert my attacks to begin..i am also a bit depressed. and it seems thatwhen I wake up I am immediatly anxious.
I so much want this cycle to stop

Dear CC,
Do you suffer from situational panic attacks? Have you had a panic attack before while eating? If you are predispoed to it while eating, try and eat slowly and carefully. There is a sister site to the PC,
www.depressioncenter.net
This may help you with your depression, take a look.
Let me know,
Susanne

This usually happens to me a few hours after I eat. It really can get me going. I know my heart is sound because I've had all the tests done, but sometimes I still get that "feeling". I really dislike teh fact that indigestion can feel like a heart attack

hi there it,s so strange that you posted this yesterday..and i went to the doc just yeasterday to reconfirm thats its just indigestion and acidity and not a heart problem...the last week was hectic for me..travelling too much,irregular timings for food,i was living off tea and sandwhiches whereever i could grab one..the result..major attacks for 3 days..i finally had to go the doc..and as usual she,s given me a course of antaacid and i,m already better today..acidity has the capacity to make one feel nausea,give chest pains,block the ears..and hence frighten us and start the attacks all over again...and acidity only happens when we have indigestion due to bad lifestyles...hope this helped..love sanju

this is a big time topic that heartburnhelp.com has talked about in there message board they have a message board for gerd and anxiety its pretty neat..anyways i have gerd i belive the anxiety can defintley mess it up its like i worry about my heart the acid gets better,than i worry about acid,and dont feel the heart rlated problems..truth is they mimic each other its good to get the test done,ekg etc,but gerd/acid is a demon in its self smoking caffine are bad i had to quit both also alcohol to,which sucks cause im 24 lol..read up on these topics ive educated myself well amost to good where i think i might have stomach cancer or esphageal cancer from the acid..the truth is to be calm i belive they have link stomach repitory the heart all play with anxiety...

I think the acid reflux is part of this thing that has us all jumping (as you all know, I call the panic and axiety this thing) Just get upset and burp and wow, the burning is terrible. Ca;;;oe

Venik,
I think you are on to something. Everytime I start to have one of these attacks, heartburn immediately follows. I've explained this to my doctor, and she told me that the acids could be near that general vacinity and are acting up my heart. I use rolaids or Mylanta 3 or 4 times a day. Ironically if my stomach is acting up, I pop a couple antacids and sometimes the attacks lighten up a bit.
