FOR SURE! Get it all the time. Try some tums.. if that doesn't work... try something stronger... prescription maybe? Or like panikd_brian said, Priolsec OTC... I've heard that works great! Good luck. =)

I have the same issue, have tried everything from pepcid, tums to nexium. What I found that works like a charm is Priolsec OTC... after 2 years of at least one a week episodes of major heartburn, I can finally say that I havent had one case in the 4 months on Prilosec.

This is normal and will pass, but don't let any doctors put you on Reglan or others meds for acid reflux as some have anxiety as side affects.  Try and drink some kind of herbal tea before you go to bed, it calms the digestion  and nerves, Camomile is good but some herbal shops have their own blend.  You can try having a higher pillow too.
Good luck.

Most definitly...anxiety and acid reflux go hand and hand....but for me this passed shortly...so don't worry! I've never experienced heart burn in my life until anxiety floated in. But it passed after a few days!
