frequent headaches, GERD, slight anxiety

[stilleto]

am i dying?

i never had anxiety issues before. Now i sometimes feel... nervous and jittery and panicky. It's minor, and unless i'm about to go to bed, i can distract myself, but it's kept me up a few times. The GERD is super annoying, but i've been taking some over the counter stuff and its better.

is it ebola? Are they related? Will my doc think i'm nuts? Am i nuts?

 

[the_clockwork]

You are nuts.. I have GERD and I've found chewing sugar free gum helps more than over the counter stuff.. quicker and more effective.. maybe you could do both?

 

[the_clockwork]

p.s. - u r nuts

 

[stilleto]

why sugar free?
i don't take artificial sweeteners, but i assume regular gum would work? what is it about gum??

I was told it had to be sugar free but can't support that.. I can only say it helps me. It does something with promoting more saliva which keeps that acid out of your throat. I don't know the specifics on how it works but I have stomach ulcers and when I get bad reflux I can pop a nexium and chew some sugar free gum and it seems to disappear faster that way than chewing tums.

i just chewed a piece of gum until i couldn't take it any more. I'm not a big gum chewer, but i'll keep it in mind for when the acid reflux kicks in.

won't help for the anxiety unless somehow your anxiety is caused by acid reflux.. if you are having serious anxiety troubles I'd urge you to see a physician. I suffered from bad anxiety attacks while in school and had to take some meds to get it undercontrol.

This is the study I read

they aren't serious troubles, no. It just started a few months ago and i assumed I had too much coffee, or something was worrying me and I couldn't figure out what it was. It does effect my sleep sometimes though, and between that and the gerd... i'm tired a lot.

melatonin.. maybe your nocturnal clock is off.. worth a shot

i have some- i'll try it. it did NOTHING for me the first time.

Ya I think it's mostly placebo effect but it worked for me so I won't complain.. I won't swear to it though

get a script for Nexium for the GERD if thats what you have. its a lifesaver (I have a different kind of Reflux that doesnt involve heartburn, per se and it's worked wonders for me).
In the past few years Ive come down with anxiety type symptoms myself mostly exaggerated by taking stimulants, but even mildly present when I'm not. like driving. i am always worried someone is going to turn left in front of me in an intersection and i hate turning left in front of oncoming traffic so I usually sit there until the light is yellow/red before i turn lol./

that's when you are most likely to get hit.. someone speeding up to make the yellow light right when you are turning

 

[Smurfy]

basically what Im saying is you're old as a bat.

 

[digimon7068]

the anxiety is from lack of sex. . .the gerd is from lack of swallowing.




























tell your husband to put my check in the mail

so... you're as crazy as i am??

I usually get panicky that I forgot something (usually, a bill). I wonder if GERD and anxiety are related. although, logically, that sounds really stupid.

Are you taking any diet pills or any new supplements?

stuff like ephedrine and yohimbe can cause anxiety, and in the case of yohimbe even paranoia at moderately high dose.

I'm not taking anything lately. not even the multivitamin i should be taking and I haven't smoked anything in a few weeks, although that will change this afternoon when i come home to an empty house...

then so will your anxiety...

 

[Mavafanculo]

i'm not a big pot smoker, but if you're used to mellowing out and then suddenly stop, I would guess that could cause it - like a rebound anxiety. get some of the hardcore tokers to chime in

hmm.
i've gone for weeks or even months before, depending on availability. I don't really have to worry about that anymore though.

I stopped drinking too- i mean, not completely, but i only have a beer once a week, in case the alcohol was causing a problem. maybe what i need to do is drink and smoke more.

 

[chewyxrage]

what otc are you taking? I take prilosec for GERD and it helps a lot. Have you been eating shitty lately?

 

[Bikini Mod]

Chewing gum makes ANY GERD worse as you swallow air when you chew gum - period.

There are many factors that contribute to GERD: genetics, diet, lifestyle. If you would like, you can PM me and I will try to help... though I am no physician, those quacks haven't helped me much either. LMFAO

no, i am a pretty healthy eater, but i can't eat much at one time. Like, an insanely small amount actually- then i get hungry again soon after.
I think i'm taking prilosec. I can picture the box (its blue with a solar eclipse on it).

i did laugh.

inside.


where it counts.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

we definitely need to have sex more often

 

[Mavafanculo]

was it a clitoral laugh or a vaginal laugh? not many women have vaginal laughs you know. In fact some women can only laugh when they're telling themself a joke.

lets just say... i laugh a LOT.

 

[stilleto]

i took your advice. that's a collective "you", btw. i came home and had a smoke.

i feel good.
lol. i almost replied with "I feel gook".

 

[chewyxrage]

Nice. I'm sure you feel great.

Smoke is one of the things the doc says to stop when you start having GERD though.

Mostly I think they're concerned about cigs though, not smoking weed once every couple weeks.

 

[Lestat]

simple solution for this one..

puff puff give!!!

 

[stilleto]

ok, well. i'm pretty much back to my normal self at this point.

of course I had no gerd symptoms for the past few hours, but i usually don't. i wasn't at all anxious, although i'm usually not. i tried to make myself anxious and i very quickly forgot, so that's a good sign.

i did eat an entire bag of carrots I had bought for the horse, plus a spoonful of peanut butter, but i don't remember eating dinner, so that's ok.

so i think the solution is: I need some medical grade stuff. for medicinal purposes. and i need it all the time.

agreed.

 

[stilleto]

agreed.

NOW. what i need from you is to quickly enter medical school and find out what kind of medicine you have to practice to make that happen for me, then pass whatever tests you need to become a doctor within the next 3 months.

thanks. i know i can count on you.


if you can't do it within that time, just forget it.

there is a much easier way to do it, if you are in California at least.

yeah, i don't need to be in CA for that route. Its summer here too...
i just need time to move a little faster.

you gotta be able to get some locally there

i have no idea. i don't run in the same type of circles you do... its not easy to find, and i'm kind of new to the area.

easier just to create my own.
There's 23 acres between my house and the next one.

I just know one guy, a friend's brother, makes things easy as it comes straight from the source.

what i mean is- you probably go out to night clubs- i don't.
you have younger friends who aren't going to not let their kids hang out with yours if you ask them if they smoke. - i do.
you probably know at least one friend or neighbor or acquaintance that looks like he partakes. I don't.

you could fix that easily though

growing yourself can be fun, i've done that indoors.
