Acid reflux happens when contents from your stomach move up into your esophagus. It happens when your lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t tighten or close properly. This allows digestive juices and other contents from your stomach to rise up into your esophagus. Psychiatric problems like anxiety and depression can also trigger or worsen the symptoms of GERD.Some things you can do to reduce anxiety include:
limit your exposure to experiences, people, and places that make you feel anxious
practice relaxation techniques, like meditation or deep breathing exercises
adjust your sleep habits, exercise routine, or other lifestyle behaviours
Next Steps
it might help to:
quit smoking
lose excess weight
eat smaller meals
chew gum after eating
avoid lying down after eating
avoid foods and drinks that trigger your symptoms
avoid wearing tight clothing
practice relaxation techniques
