Any herbal remedies for reflux I know diet is important but can acid reflux be caused by anxiety or stress I have generalized anxiety disorder and notice when I started taking zoloft meds for anxiety after a couple months my acid reflux came down but when I stopped my reflux came back I never suffer from reflux until I was in a tike of my life where I was having panic attacks twice a day for months ?

  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

YES !! Stress and anxiety can trigger reflux symptoms.
It is also possible for the vagus nerve to be compressed and this can cause symptoms  like heart palps.....

Please see your Dr to know just what is going on and the proper course of treatment.

I can't speak from experience on anxiety and acid reflux but I think it's certainly possible that anxiety and panic attacks may exacerbate the situation.
